Van Insurance News from Be Wiser

Who can hire a vehicle?

Although millions of Brits own their own vehicle, a hire can be used for a number of reasons – jobs such as moving house, for example.

It is important to understand the rules many companies can set with regard to the loan of their cars and vans, however.

Some firms may set no limits on age and experience of the driver, but it is common for some to do so.

The age a person needs to be depends largely on the size of the vehicle – some organisations may have a ? specific 25-and-over rule for van hire, for example.

Similar to car insurance, rates may be higher for younger drivers too.

It may also be common for some organisations to levy a higher statutory insurance charge on younger motorists.

For businesses where there is no age limit, there may be similarly-designed restrictions with regard to experience – some may state an individual must have been on the road for a set number of years before handing over the keys.

Rules can also depend on the country where the vehicle is to be used – some multinational firms may have different limits in-line with local laws.
