Welfare Van Insurance

[Stephen Blair]

I’ve just bought a Welfare Van with 8 seats, kitchen, toilet etc.

NFU have never heard of 1 and away to scratch their heads.

  Looking for recommendations for Insurance companies please.

  Thanks

I have been thinking about buying a camper van for some lengthy forestry jobs where 4x4 access isn’t an issue. Anyone know if I could claim this as a welfare vehicle even if I use it outside of work?

What defines a vehicle as welfare?

You will need to go through a decent broker Stephen, it will need to be put to them as the base vehicle whatever that is and then the body type. A few pics will be needed and they will send it off to the underwriter, our broker has managed to place all the oddball vehicles I have built over the years so yours should be straight forward.

Are some of your customers requesting welfare on site too? Think I will have to trade the wee van in for a welfare van soon, it's either that or get a portaloo moved to every site I'm on!

I've got an "oddball" 7.5t, Adrian Flux insurance sorted out the insurance after many other companies wouldn't touch it. I emailed plenty of pictures over to them and got it insured within a hour, don't know what they are like at paying out mind..

Jmac no customer requests I just want some comforts.

  I’ve been contracting since I left school , 29 years eating off my lap and sitting in damp clothes.

  Now I have a cloak room, toilet, drying area and a kitchen with table!  Luxury?

  great for the kids and rd trips too!

I was fannying about trying to decide on whether to get mobile units or static, mobile for sure on jobs that only run for a few weeks but for long running contracts static makes a bit more sense so I bought these. Nice to be able to leave dry clothes/boots and some kit on site and not have to crap behind a bush.
