Hi, I’ve received a quote from Howden but when I’ve mentioned the conversion specialist as well as DOC and Van Cave, they can only give me 10% discount off the admin fee which is only £7. Is this right or are folks getting 10% off the actual premium?

Having just bought my T6.1 I will be looking to modify the vehicle appearance over the comming months with the addition of Alloys wheels side bars etc etc With these additions at what point do you notify the insurance company of these add ons I.e after they have been fitted or on renewal. Do...

I’m faced with my beloved 67 (2018) plate LWB T6 being a possible write off. Without delving into the complex how and why, the rear back post/wheel arch got hit by a boy racer, BUT I’m having to pay. It needs a new drivers side panel, right back door, etc etc. Insurance Company’s ‘consulting...

Just thought I’d give some feedback on this company here, thanks DXX What a disorganised shower, I’m struggling to contain my anger and frustration at the way this company is set up. It all comes down to setting an agreed value. Their online portal for this simply doesn’t work, it never...

Hi everyone, I currently have a T6 panel van which I want to slowly (over a few years) convert into a campervan. What insurance has people gone with which will allow you to do this? I’ve figured I will need to get ‘camper to conversion’ insurance? Or can I just go with normal van insurance...

So my daughter had a minor accident the other week. Motorcyclist pulled out. Called her insurance to let them know. They then give her a claims nunber to ring who would deal with everything. Basically they said has she didn't have the make and model of the bike nothing they could do. Rang back...

Got crack in windscreen and currently in Brienz in Switzerland. Insurance (Lloyds Van) have been less than useless and told me to sort myself. Swiss equivalent of Auto Windscreens quoting me £1600 for fitting replacement where I am staying. Crack has spread from stone strike at top of screen...

Hi - i recently got a great quote from justkampers but they have now rejected my No Claims Discount as the previous insurance it is from has not expired. Basically I was using my renewal quote from my main car insurance as proof of No Claims. Is it normal that you cannot use your history on one...

I'll be off for several weeks to Spain and Portugal from the UK in a few weeks time. I've being doing this a few years and never informed my insurer up until my last trip at end of 2023. The only reason I did last time was because, when I contacted my insurer (Adrian Flux) about renewal, I said...

Evening guys!! After purchasing my new to me van, I'm looking at getting GAP insurance. Has anybody had any recent experience with it? Who are the go to companies and has anyone had a successful payout if their van was written off?

Firstly… Merry Xmas everyone Looking for advice and recommendations for getting a rear window replaced in the North East. Woke up to a lovely Xmas present this morning - a smashed rear window. Not sure how it happened, some **** or from the high winds we had. Can’t see any evidence that it...

Hi all , has anyone else had an issue trying to insure a 204 ? A lot of the insurance companies are saying they only have the 199 listed so are shying away from giving quotes?

Hi - please help an old man! Had something hit the screen on my shuttle today just to the drivers side of centre - it's made a big bullseye about 20mm dia at moment with several cracks looking ready to propagate. I'm pretty sure it will need replacing, what I am unclear on is the procedure for...

So I had never really paid much attention to the research done by Martin Lewis and team that the best time to buy motor insurance was about 20 - 26 days before it was needed. But this year my LV multicar went from £420 to £720 with no change of circumstances. I did shop around a week ago, as...

Can anyone recommend a company who will do Gap Insurance on a Converted Transporter? I tried gapinsurance.co.uk but theyre unable to help since the van wasn't converted from new? The prospect of being left paying for finance on a campervan no longer own if it gets stolen isn't exactly filling...

Have a T6 self-build camper and looking for new insurance but been told by a broker that the maximum I can get is 12,000 miles and if I go over by a single mile, my policy will revert from fully comp to third party only! This is rather prohibitive since we are planning roadtrip through Western...

Hi All, I’ve just bought a converted campervan which is worth £55,000 and I have a-plan insurance which only insures me for having it parked off road at night. this is proving difficult for me in my new house as the back road is difficult to get down and quite dangerous. Are there any other...

I have a 2022 T6 professionally converted to camper with pop top (new cost approx £60,000) but find I cannot insure it for travel to work use, apparently because is it now a 'leisure' camper, but it is my only vehicle so i need it to go to work. Does anyone have any insurance company or broker...

Hey Folks, Unfortunately on the way back from Snowdonia and just 10mins from home in Kent. Some plum decided to skid into my van and cause a bit of damage :mad::(. The repair looks like a new door / window including cut out (as was a panel van), rear body side and possibility new alloy / tire...

Following an even older coffin dodger stuffing the nearside of my camper as he tried to squeeze through my van into my lane the van has been repaired apart from the two 18" Momo Revenge on that side. The repair body shop called to say initially that their diamond polishing wizard couldn't re cut...
