GET A QUOTEInstall a Thatcham tracker
A Category 5 or 6 GPS tracker can reduce your premium by 10–20% and is required by some insurers for high-value tools cover.
Pay annually, not monthly
Monthly payments attract interest of 15–30% APR. Paying annually saves the equivalent of 1–2 months' premium.
Increase your voluntary excess
Raising your excess from £250 to £500 can reduce your premium by up to 15%. Only do this if you can afford the excess.
Park securely overnight
Parking in a locked garage or secure compound overnight reduces theft risk and can lower your premium significantly.
Build your no-claims discount
A 5-year NCD can reduce your premium by up to 65%. Protect it with NCD protection cover once you've built it up.
Declare all modifications
Always declare van racking, ply lining, and roof racks. Undeclared modifications can invalidate your policy.
