What happens after you purchase an insurance policy with Insuremyvan.ie?

At Insuremyvan.ie we like to make things quick and easy for our clients. Our van insurance specialists will bring you through the process with the minimum fuss, all we require are some documentation that can easily be obtained.

COVER LETTER

Once you have paid for your van insurance policy we will issue you a cover letter within 1 week. This will be posted to your home address. The cover letter will confirm that we have placed insurance cover on your van and it will also set out what we require you to do. Typically, this will require you to sign a proposal form. When signing the proposal please check that all the information is correct. If you believe that any of the details are incorrect please contact our customer support team 01 660 6900.

DOCUMENTS REQUIRED

We will most likely also ask for a copy of all drivers licences (make sure to copy the front and back of the licence). If you have held previous insurance in your own name, we will require a letter of no claims bonus from your last insurer. If you have been a named driver on someone else’s policy, we will require a letter of driving experience. There may be other documents we require such as the vehicle licensing certificate or a medical certificate. All these documents will be outlined on the cover note.

What policy documents do I receive?

Proposal Form or Statement of Fact

The Proposal Form or Statement of Fact contains the information on which we have provided the quotation and incepted cover. This will be issued to you from Insuremyvan.ie by post or email. It is very important that you carefully read the documentation to ensure that the information is correct. Please notify us if any amendments need to be made.

If no amendments are to be made, the form should be signed, dated and returned to Insuremyvan.ie regardless of whether it was the proposal form or statement of fact that you received.

The Proposal Form or Statement of Fact must be signed and dated at the bottom of the page and returned to us along with the Signed Statement of Suitability.

Certificate of No Claims Discount

For every year you are driving without an accident or a claim, you are entitled to a year’s no claims discount. These discounts are then used to reduce your commercial insurance premium. This is usually obtained at the renewal stage of your insurance policy and is issued with your renewal invitation pack.

There are three types of discounts that we can use to help reduce your premium:

  • Earned No Claims Bonus: This is a bonus earned in your own name and the registration should be the same on the No Claims Bonus as the vehicle you wish to insure.
  • Mirrored No Claims Bonus: This is a bonus that is currently being used and earned on a different vehicle. Some insurers will allow us to mirror your no claims bonus and provide an introductory discount on the vehicle you wish to insure.
  • Named Driver Experience: This is a discount earned for being named on someone else’s policy. Please see below for a full description of named driver experience.

Please see below for an example of a No Claims Discount Certificate.

Commercial van insurance

Named Driver Experience

Named Driver Experience is a discount given when you have been named on somebody else’s insurance policy. For named driver experience to be acceptable, it needs to be consecutive and up-to-date. You may need to contact all of your previous insurers to request your letters of named driver experience.

Gap in Cover Declaration

Should your No Claims Discount Certificate not up to the inception date of your new policy, you will need to notify us. In some cases we can agree to accept a signed Gap in Cover Declaration to confirm that you have had no accidents or claims since the expiry of your previous policy.

We will need a reason as to why you have this gap. It may be a simple explanation, but the insurance companies require it. You can print or download a Gap in Cover Declaration Form by clicking here.

Sold Vehicle Declaration

If you are using a No Claims Bonus Certificate from a vehicle that you have recently sold, we ask that you confirm that you have sold the vehicle. We will post or email a declaration to you to confirm the sale of your previous vehicle, or you can print/download it HERE.

Direct Debit Mandates

Some insurers allow you to pay for your policy by monthly direct debit or through our third party finance provider, Close Premium Finance. Therefore if you would like to pay for your policy monthly, we may ask you to complete a direct debit mandate. Please note that we can only accept the mandate by post or a very clear scan.

Below is a table of the dates that each insurer collects their monthly payment:

Insurer Date
AXA 1st working day of every month
Liberty Same date as your renewal each month
Zurich Same date as your renewal each month
Aviva Same date as your renewal each month
Allianz The first Friday after your renewal date
Close Premium Finance Same date as your renewal each month

Private Car Insurance Certificate

In some instances, we may be able to give you a further discount for being a named driver on someone else’s private motor or having your own private motor policy. We will require that you provide us with a photocopy of their private motor insurance policy, which should be in date and have your name noted on it.

*Please note that all documentation should be returned to Insuremyvan.ie. You will never have to return anything to an insurer directly.

You can return any documentation by email, by post or in person to our office.

By Email: Please email your documents to [email protected].

By Post: Please post your documents to Insuremyvan.ie, Insurance House, 62A Terenure Road North, Dublin 6w, D6W CF54.

In Person: Please visit our office at the above address.

What is a No Claims Bonus Certificate and how can I get one?

What is a No Claims Bonus Certificate and why do we need it?

For every year you are driving without an accident or a claim, you are entitled to a year’s no claims discount. These discounts are then used to reduce your insurance premium. Usually, this is obtained at the renewal stage of your insurance policy and is issued with your renewal invitation pack.

As we give a discount and reduce your insurance premium for having claims free driving, we need to see proof so that we can keep that discount in place.

What you should do if you require a copy?

Below are some of the questions we hear most when it comes to requesting your certificate of no claims bonus.

  • My policy is due for renewal with Insuremyvan.ie and I need my proof of no claims bonus
    When your policy with Insuremyvan.ie falls due for renewal, we will automatically post you out a renewal invitation pack. You should receive your renewal invitation approximately 21 days before your renewal date. In this you will find your certificate of no claims bonus. Please check this pack carefully as should you require a duplicate certificate of no claims bonus, we will have to request it for you and it can take up to 7 working days before you receive it. Please click HERE to request a duplicate certificate.
  • I was previously insured with Insuremyvan.ie and I need my No Claims Bonus Certificate
    As your certificate of no claims would have already been issued to you with your renewal invitation pack, we will have to request a duplicate certificate. Please note that it can take up to 7 working days before you receive your certificate of no claims bonus. To request a duplicate please click HERE.
When should I receive my insurance certificate & disc?

Once we have received the proposal form, requested documents and payment, an annual insurance certificate and disc will be issued to you.

How can I make a change or cancel an existing policy?

MAKING A CHANGE TO YOUR INSURANCE POLICY

To make a change to your existing van insurance policy please call us on 01 660 6900, select option 1 (Insuremyvan.ie) and then option 4 (All Other Queries) or email [email protected]. The most common changes are listed below:

  • Change of Vehicle: If you have a new van or if you have been provided with a temporary vehicle due to repairs, just contact our office where our team will ask for some information on the vehicle and the changeover can be done immediately.
  • Adding Drivers: If you wish to add a driver to your policy, you will need to provide us with the following information: name, date of birth and driving/claims history. If you wish to remove a driver, just notify one of the team and we can process it over the phone.
  • Proposal Form: If there is some information on your proposal form which is incorrect or you wish to query, you can amend the form itself, sign it and email to [email protected] or call us for further clarification.

*PLEASE NOTE: No cover will be in place for any alterations until confirmed by us.

SUSPENDING YOUR INSURANCE POLICY

The cancellation process is hassle free. Simply return your insurance certificate and disc to our office with a letter confirming you wish to cancel your policy.
If you wish to suspend your policy, just complete the same process and give us a call to reinstate your policy. Importantly, suspending your policy is a great alternative to cancelling a policy as it means you don’t need to start all over again!

Can I transfer my No Claims Bonus if I want to change from a car to a van?

Absolutely, yes. Without a doubt, we can arrange to match the No Claims Bonus you have earned on your private car and transfer this discount to the van.

Does owning a private car affect my van insurance quote?

At Insuremyvan.ie we have exclusive discounts for van drivers who either have a private car or are named on their partner’s/spouse’s private car policy. Simply ask one of our Van Insurance specialists for more details.

What are the ‘Open Drive’ and ‘Bonus Protection’ options?
  • Open Drive: Open Drive gives you the freedom to let someone else drive your van on a day to day basis. The general conditions would be a fully licensed driver with a clean history. Please refer to your policy booklet for full details of age and license restrictions. Notably, Open Drive will never cover you to drive another vehicle through your own policy.
  • Bonus Protection: There are two types of bonus protection: Step-back Protection and Full Bonus Protection. Generally, Step-back Protection will protect two years of your No Claims Bonus depending on your bonus level. However, Full Bonus Protection will protect your bonus entirely. Please refer to your policy booklet for more information on your level of bonus protection.
