Personal Accident Cover

Protecting your vehicle in the event of an accident is vital, especially for small business owners who rely on their vans for work. However, it’s just as important to protect yourself if you are seriously injured. Personal accident covers you for loss, injury or death and can offer a much-needed safety net, especially if you are unable to work and provide an income for your family after a vehicle accident.

You may often be driving with colleagues, friends or taking long family trips in your beloved campervan. By taking out personal accident cover, you’ll also be protecting your most precious cargo – your passengers.

How does it work?

The Personal Accident cover will run alongside your van insurance policy for a maximum of 12 months, however if you purchased it after the start date of your van insurance both will expire on the same day.

Both you and any passengers travelling with you in the insured vehicle will be covered in the event of:

Any accident that occurs while you’re driving the insured vehicle

A malicious and unprovoked attack by another road user if it happens in or nearby the insured vehicle

An accident or fall whilst getting into and out of the insured vehicle

You will also be covered if you’re involved in a road accident after travelling as a passenger in another vehicle.
