On the subject of Van Hire, and related to another recent thread…
Does the insurance that comes with van hire normally cover hire and reward use, or is it limited to normal business use? I’m looking into some work myself that could see me needing to hire a van for a few weeks but it will be for hire&reward so normal business cover wouldn’t be enough.
The insurance you normally get with van hire doesn’t cover hire & reward or business use unless you specify it. They normally like a biz to self insure.
The very basic cover you get thrown in is usually for private individuals! Thats how you can hire upto 7.5t on a normal (re old, pre '97) driving license with no Ops license either!
