10% Off A-Plan Insurance with The Van Cave

[Dazzy4]

Insured my van again today with Howdens, was expecting a massive increase due to the market, however only a £40 increase over last year

Same here renewed with A Plan (Howdens) spoke with a guy called Michael Kellers , went through the usual questions to make sure nothing had change and it came in at the same price as last year, so considering the horror stories I am hearing about insurance hikes I was happy with my deal

Just for clarity for others on this subject from my experience. I put in an initial enquiry through Howden's website for a quote for a new (to me) van purchase.

The enquiry was picked up by Howdens Bristol who provided me an initial quote. However, after just adding an awning(!) as a mod and an additional driver, the premium for their quote shot up. After me asking, they then transferred me to the Thatcham branch, who including this 10% discount beat the Bristol branch quote by 25% (including the mods and additional driver).

Therefore, if you are looking for an insurance quote for a modified van (even if the mods are not performance related) through Howdens, it is definitely worth specifically speaking to their Thatcham branch, who clearly have access to different pricing from their insurers/underwriters.

Thank god for these forums I’m looking at buying a van this weekend had some unreal quotes around £700, went through to Howdens and they came in at £770! O couldn’t understand as only 3 weeks ago they’d quoted me £435 on a similar van!
Anyway it seems there different branches of Howden Thatchams, so I came on here and got Dans number, within 20 mins I had a quote if £465! I’ve nothing but praise for him and what he ran through with me, if the van is solid I’ll be insuring Monday morning.
Thanks again for whoever put Dan and his number on, also got discount with mentioning the forum.
