Our van insurance policies

You need suitable insurance to run alongside your van breakdown cover. When it comes to choosing cover, your policy has to tick the right boxes. There is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to van insurance, so we offer a range of different cover types:

Our levels of van breakdown cover 

We understand that different drivers have various needs when it comes to van breakdown cover. Whether your van is part of a fleet or driven for personal use, you need to make sure that you've got the right cover in place in case the worst happens.

If you already have Breakdown Cover with us, it will be provided by RAC. Please refer to your policy documents for full details of your policy.

That’s why Autonet offers a wide selection of breakdown cover for vans, with four levels of cover available, each offering different features and inclusions to suit your needs.

Roadside Only

Roadside Only gives you peace of mind if you break down more than a quarter of a mile from home. The RAC will attend and, if your van cannot be repaired at the roadside, you and your passengers will be taken to a destination of your choice within 10 miles.

This level does not include assistance within a quarter of a mile of your home and does not provide cover for vans outside the UK.

Roadside & Recovery

Includes all the benefits of Roadside Only, plus nationwide recovery. If your van cannot be repaired at the roadside, you, your passengers, and your van will be transported to any destination of your choice anywhere in the UK.

This level does not include assistance within a quarter of a mile of your home and does not provide cover for vans outside the UK.

Roadside, Recovery & At Home

Includes all the benefits of Roadside & Recovery, plus cover within a quarter of a mile of your home address.

This level does not provide assistance for vans outside the UK.

Roadside, Recovery, At Home & European

Includes all the benefits of Roadside, Recovery & At Home, plus European Breakdown cover for your van while driving in European countries.

Van Breakdown Cover FAQs

It can be dangerous if you break down on the road. Here's what you can do to stay safe while awaiting assistance:

  • Move your van off the road or onto the hard shoulder of a motorway if possible.
  • If your van breaks down on a smart motorway, try to make it to an exit slip road or emergency refuge area. If this isn't possible, switch on your hazard lights and position your van as far left as possible.
  • Put on a high-vis jacket if you have one and put up a warning triangle if safe to do so.

The cost of your van breakdown cover will depend on the level of cover you choose, so it's hard for us to answer this question without knowing exactly what you need. But rest assured we'll always try to offer a policy that works for you.

There are two options to choose from when paying for your van breakdown cover. You can split the cost across monthly payments via direct debit or you can pay the whole premium upfront.

This often depends on the level of breakdown cover you purchase for your van.
