If you have seen how the average sprinter driver, drives then this not a bad quote

A friend of mine who is starting out got a quote the other day. They wanted £4892.00 xlwb transit jumbo on a 11 plate what a joke. I don't see how they expect people to pay this...

The way i see it with these insurance companies is they think if you have a van, then u can make mega money. Personally i think they need to live in the real world. I got a quote for a small berlingo van of £6850- in the end i went with stavely head and got it for £2750. Alot of differance but comes with big excess
