Why van insurance for grey number plates?

Today, a grey licence plate does not literally exist any more. Since the advent of the registration card, physical grey license plates are no longer used. The term 'grey registration number' is only used to indicate that certain cars are intended for the transport of goods. These are mostly delivery vans.

As with other cars, you need insurance for a van. But what kind of insurance do you take out? And how do you choose the best van insurance for a gray license plate? Through this blog, Alpina explains it for you.

Delivery van insurance grey license plate

What do you take out with van insurance for grey license plates?

The delivery van insurance grey license plate consists of a number of specifications. These depend on the type of insurance you take out. We explain the different types of insurance for you.

Third-party insurance

WA stands for 'Third Party Liability'. WA insurance is compulsory for anyone who wants to drive a delivery van on the road. This insurance reimburses the damage you cause to others. Do you hit someone with your delivery van? Then you do not have to compensate the damage to someone else. The damage to your own delivery van will be for your own account.

WA limited casco

The WA limited casco insurance covers some extra matters on top of the WA insurance. Damage caused by theft, joyriding, loss, window damage, fire and natural disasters will also be compensated. However, damage to your own van is still not compensated for.

All-risk

The All Risks insurance compensates for damage to your own van on top of everything already covered by the WA limited casco insurance. This insurance is often taken out for newer delivery vans, as repairs are often more expensive than for older delivery vans.

The best van insurance for grey license plates?

What should you look for in order to get the best insurance for your van? The following points of interest may be helpful to you.

New or used delivery van

The choice of your insurance will partly depend on the value of your van. New cars generally have a higher value. Older cars with accumulated kilometres usually have a low value. For this reason you can choose to take out All-Risk insurance for new delivery vans. And for older delivery vans a WA or WA limited casco insurance.

Cover

Check whether additional modules are offered. These modules are in fact extensions of the basic insurance. This means that you can be reimbursed for additional matters, should you decide to take them out.

Premium

Your premium will be higher if you choose to take out wider cover. Decide for yourself whether you think the higher premium is worth it in relation to the value of your car. If not, it is better to go for a lower coverage with a lower premium.
