We do not cover Commercial Vehicles on a permanent basis on Private Car policies.

We will, however, do a temporary substitution to a van on a private car policy for a maximum of 48hrs –the vehicle must be used for Social Domestic & Pleasure only, e.g. for moving house. An additional premium of €64 applies for the first 24 hours and an additional €32 applies for any additional time up to a further 24 hours.
