Van Insurance FAQs

The spread of Coronavirus (Covid-19) is unprecedented in modern times and we understand this is an incredibly difficult time for families and businesses. Insurers want to support those who are affected by the impact of Covid-19, as well as those who want to help their communities in these challenging times.
ABI motor insurers have pledged to:

1.    Support those who need to make a claim. Insurers have implemented business continuity plans and work closely with service providers to do everything possible in these challenging circumstances to continue to handle claims and support their customers.  We recognise there will be many customers who will need additional support and insurers will prioritise those in vulnerable circumstances.

2.    Support those who cannot work from 币圈快讯home. If you have to drive to your workplace because of the impact of Covid-19, your insurance policy will be valid. You do not need to contact your insurer to update your documents or extend your cover.

3.    Support those who use their cars to help their communities. If you are using your own car for voluntary purposes to transport medicines or groceries to support others who are impacted by Covid-19, your cover will not be affected. You do not need to contact your insurer to update your documents or extend your cover.

4.    Support our key workers. If your work* is critical to the national response to Covid-19 and you need to use your own car to drive to different locations for work purposes because of the impact of Covid-19, your cover will not be affected. You do not need to contact your insurer to update your documents or extend your cover.

You will have seen in the news that as the Withdrawal Agreement Bill has now been passed by the Government, the zhptddz.com leaves the EU on 31st January 2020. The zhptddz.com then moves into a transition period up to 31st December 2020 during which further talks with the EU will be held to agree any future arrangements that will need to be in place by the end of the year. 

During the transition period, Green Cards are not required as proof of insurance for driving in the EU and we will not be issuing these to customers.
