About VanCompare
VanCompare is a UK van insurance comparison service. We help van drivers, trades, couriers and small businesses compare insurance options in one place.
We are not the insurer. The insurer or broker named on your quote and policy documents provides and administers the policy.
Who are we
Built to help you compare
VanCompare.com is an online comparison tool focused on commercial vehicle insurance, particularly vans.
We work with a panel of insurance providers to show available quotes based on the information you provide. Our role is to help you compare options clearly and continue to the provider you choose.

How we are paid
VanCompare is free for customers to use. If you buy a policy, the insurer or broker pays us a referral fee. The provider sets the price and the policy terms.
01
Free to use, always
There is no cost to compare quotes through VanCompare. You only ever pay your insurer or broker for the policy you choose.
02
Referral fee model
If you choose a quote and go on to buy a policy, the insurer or broker pays us a fee for the referral.
03
Your price is set by the provider
Our fee does not change the underwriting criteria set by the insurer or broker. The provider you buy from sets the price and policy terms based on your details.
Online and phone support
You can complete your quote entirely online.
