Insurance for van conversions

• Removing seats
• Removing windows
• Adding fitted kitchen items

• Power supplies

Do you provide discounts for modified van insurance?

Almost all modified vans are owned as second vehicles, used on a limited mileage basis, are show vehicles or cherished vans. We have modified van insurance schemes that cover all these and therefore discounts can often be increased in these circumstances. If you are a member of a Car Club or an Owners Club then you will also more than likely be entitled to a discount. Please just ask when you get your modified van insurance quote.

Which vans are popular for modifying?

The vans that most regularly undergo modifications are:

• VW Transporter
• Ford Transit
• VW Caddy
• Mercedes Sprinter
• Vauxhall Vivaro
• Citreon Berlingo

At Keith Michaels, we can help locate insurance for these plus many more types of modified vans.

Why do van modifications change the price of the insurance?

Making changes to your van can alter the price of your insurance for various reasons. Adding additional safety features will usually lower your premiums, but other changes can cause it to increase. This can be either because the van is simply worth more, or because it has become more attractive to thieves – such as in the event of eye-catching paintwork or performance enhancements.

What vans make the best campers?

Depending on your needs, various vans might be more suited for camper conversion than others. You need to think about what you need to accommodate. Are you a lone traveller, a couple, a family, or group of friends? Will you need to cater for young children or pets? Do you need to travel with bulky equipment? Among the most popular vans for campers are VW Transports, Ford Transits, and Renault Trafics. This is mostly because of their generous size and smooth driving style.
