We find that although online systems pick up it’s a Mercedes Sprinter, but may not take into consideration at it’s an ice cream van too. If you have got an online quote speak to the insurer and get their confirmation that the insurance policy will cover you and your ice-cream van correctly. Why not then compare that quote with a policy we can offer you. We will definitely ensure you and your Ice-Cream Van are insured correctly.

Along with the standard option to cancel your insurance then reinsure it later which may incorporate administration fees both when cancelling and re-setting up the policy as well as the potential of losing the No Claims Bonus you have earned up to the end of the Ice-Cream Season. Our Aviva Ice-Cream Van insurance policy allows you to take your vehicle off the road but keeping the peace of mind that protection remains against Fire and Theft (Laid-Up Cover). Not only will this create a discount on your premium but your No Claims Bonus continues (providing no claims have been made), which will benefit you when the policy falls due for renewal and you get the peace of mind your Ice-Cream Van is protected whilst not in use.

Yes, we can offer payment plans, but these will attract an interest charge. If you’re interested in payment options the team member you speak to will explain the options available to you.

Typically, the policy excess will have a £150 excess. We will always advise you clearly what excess applies to your ice cream van insurance quote. You can increase this which may reduce the premium of your insurance quote but be aware your policy excess may change if drivers are young and inexperienced or have a history of claims & insurance losses. Again, the team member you speak to will explain these.

Protected No Claims Bonus is available with a 2% increase in premium. 

Because there isn’t fleets of ice cream vans sitting around waiting to be hired out this isn’t possible BUT we can offer a facility which in the event on a non-fault accident will provide a similar vehicle to yours for you to continue trading.

This is dependent many difference factors, but we can mirror private car no claim discounts, give discounts for limited mileage and also if you chose to become a member of catering trade affiliations and associations. With these discounts we certainly hope not.

No. We can cover ice cream vans and indeed catering vans from Bedford CF’s with Perkins diesel engines, Citron H vans and even cars that have been converted to sell ice cream!

We can cover drivers aged 21 and upwards with a full UK driving licence for a minimum of 2 years.

Because we understand you, your van and your business means as much to us as it does to you. Hence we use quality insurers who pride themselves on their customer service.
