Business InsuranceFrequently Asked Questions
Q. Do I need tools insurance if my van is covered by my business policy?
A. Not always. However, business vehicle policies often exclude tools or have low limits. We can help make sure you're not underinsured.
Q, Are my tools covered if left overnight in the van?
A. It depends on the policy. We can arrange separate cover for overnight storage, depending on where and how your tools are stored.
Q. Can I get cover if I've had a recent theft?
A. Yes, but it may affect your premium. Let's talk through it and find an insurer that suits your history.
Q. Can I combine this with my liability insurance?
A. Absolutely. You might also be interested in our Business and Liability Insurance.
