A new website has been launched which offers van operators the chance to compare insurance quotes www.thevaninsurer.co.uk claims to guarantee to provide customers with the cheapest online quote.

It comes from the same company behind www.thebikeinsurer.co.uk.

If any customers believe they have found a better online quote they can call a freephone number and the best price will be offered.

The site, which has been live for two months through pay-per-click Google adverts, has witnessed a 247% increase in quotes already this month since it was officially launched and already processed more quotes in the first two weeks of September than the whole of August put together.

The site compares all levels of cover in one quote without the need to go back and enter new details.

It also offers free legal cover worth up to £25 with all quotes, not just policies taken out, and will send the customer a confirmation email and text of the best quotes.
