Mines about £300, 2006 berlingo van.
Have a look at topcashback, saved me a fortune over the years, it's free, they have deals, get your insurance, energy, phone or whatever and after a few months they'll pay you a lump sum of money into your account, sounds too good to be true but it's legit.

£330 about the average then . I have the missus as named driver because the agent said ...strangely ...it is cheaper .
Can't put my mate on it , he keeps triggering speed cameras.

pour son had us on his Fiesta ST200 because we thought it would make his premium cheaper
this year, removing us saved him money! I only drove it once
I 've had some odd conversations with insurers when getting quotes .
1) "Well of course you'll be driving onto building sites " ( No I won't mainly to avoid van being crushed by a JCB )
2) "Then theres all the stuff you'll be carrying in the back " ( So...you don't cover that anyway so why has that come up )
3) " Your occupation is taken into consideration in the cost " ( Why !.... I'm insuring our private car here ...my occupation is with a van insured elsewhere.)
4) One company reduced the cost if I agreed to a mileage limit of 100 miles from the centre of Brum .

Changed companies this year and put me back on his insurance because it saved him £50
There just doesn't seem to be any logic when it comes to insurance

I've found little logic to insurance, especially vans.
When I worked part time on maintenance I had a 2.5L Volvo estate, (downgraded from caravanning), with business use insurance.
The time came I swapped it for a 1.3L Fiesta diesel van for exactly the same use. I expected insurance to come down, but no it went up, plus the van insurance didn't allow me to drive another vehicle.
No sensible explanation was forthcoming, they just said "because it's a van".

I had some right nonsense with mt Classic Landrover insurance. I had started keeping it in the garage, so at the last renewal, I thought it worth telling them. But no it made no difference to the premium. then when I got the paperwork I found a nasty clause, now it is normally kept in the garage, if I left it out one night and it got stolen, it would not be covered. So I was paying the same, for less cover.
Needless to say at this years renewal I told them it is parked on the drive (let me guess it would now not be covered of stolen from the garage)?

It’s probably because a van is more likely to be carrying tools so therefore more susceptible to being broke into.
They always ask about signwriting too . Does it make any difference ...the scrotes will break into anything .

see now you used to be able to have a couple of magnetic signs made up that said window cleaning as no one is going to break into a van for a couple of rags and a bucket, but can’t even use that one now with all this filtration water systems they use these days!!
How about two magnetic signs saying ...." Covid 9 transport vehicle "
