- Fire and theft cover – In addition to third party cover this covers fire damage and theft of vehicle.
- Comprehensive cover – Cover for damage to your own vehicle.
- Carriage of own goods/goods in transit – Cover for your own goods e.g. tools of your trade, van contents, own products for delivery etc.
Your policy can also be extended to include:
