What you keep in your van overnight and how likely it is to be stolen 
When you compare van insurance, it is often very beneficial to go with an isurer that considers themselves a 'specialist' in that area. Whilst most of the 400 insurers on the market are able to give you a quote, you need to feel confident that you will be looked after should you crash your vehicle or be broken into.
