Is private or commercial insurance more expensive?
Hi, I was just wondering is it more expensive to insure a van on a private tax rather than a commercial tax.
Our answer:
Hi John,
There's no definitive answer to that as there are so many factors at play. And the rules around taxation are fixed. An insurer will likely have strict rules on the use of the vehicle if it's commercial insurance as well so there's a lot more to think about than the price.
