What is Race Van Insurance?

Insurance for social use of a private van or truck, whether it's just a panel van with a camp bed, converted vans and trucks kitted out with a garage and some home comforts, or a high end camper with room to carry your vehicle/kit and live like a king. It can be converted by you, a previous owner or professional coachbuilders - up to 17.5 tonnes with a maximum value of £40,000 including the fixtures and fittings.

For social use vans and trucks intended to carry motorbikes, or other hobby vehicles, to and from race meetings, trackdays, shows and events, e.g.

  • Bike Transporters / Motorcycle Carriers
  • Hobby / Leisure Vans
  • Race Trucks / Race Transporters
  • Race Support Vehicles
  • Day Vans

This policy is NOT designed for commercial use or as a main vehicle; you need to have another vehicle for everyday use. The reason it's cheaper than normal van insurance policies is because we know that a race transporter spends more time parked on your driveway, or pitched-up with an awning at a track, than actually being driven on the road...

Is Race Van Insurance right for you?

There are some minimum requirements before you call us:

  • Up to £40,000 value (we are looking at increasing this, but for now it's £40k)
  • Maximum 17.5 tonnes GVW
  • Must still be classed as a van/truck and NOT be showing as a 'Motor Caravan' on the V5 (you need motorhome policies for that)
  • No more than 6 seats with seat belts (temporary seating is OK when it's parked up)
  • All drivers must be 23 or over

It MUST be able to carry a motorcycle, other types of race/leisure vehicles, or whatever sports equipment it is intended to carry as a “Hobby Van”, including:

  • Motorcycles, e.g. road bikes, dirt bikes, track and race bikes, sidecar outfits, drag bikes, speedway motorcycles, etc
  • Track and race cars, go karts, dune buggies, etc
  • Any other sports equipment (jet skis, quads, microlights, etc).

The most important thing is what it is used for, i.e. this is personal use van insurance for a private van or truck to transport you and your kit - so that you can enjoy your passion.

  • What can I use Race Van Insurance for?

    We have primarily designed this policy for track or dirt bike riders and racers, with vans used mainly for carrying their bikes and sleeping at tracks. This is not a commercial van policy and is not designed to cover your work van for business use.

    Our Race Van Insurance is restricted to Social, Domestic & Pleasure (SDP) including the "Carriage of Own Goods" (in other words it's a private van policy that enables you to transport your own motorbike and other sports equipment. Occassional commuting can be permitted, but it should not be your main everyday vehicle, we expect you to have another form of transport to get to work and for general use.

  • Does it cover my motorbike in the van?

    No, this policy covers your private van only, not your motorcycle and other sports equipment when being transported.

    However we have separate policies designed for Fire and Theft of your track, dirt or race bikes, either at home in a locked building or when "In Transit".

    Our Track Bike Theft Insurance and Dirt Bike Theft Insurance products can cover SORN and laid up motorbikes, as well as unregistered off-road bikes against fire, theft and malicious damage when stored securely.

    * This is NOT a motorhome policy, it is intended for converted vans and trucks that can carry motorbikes or other leisure vehicles and equipment. If your V5 'log book' says 'Motor Caravan' then you need a different type of policy.

    Choose your level of race transporter cover

    Comprehensive Cover which includes accidental damage cover (this is the top level of cover). It includes all the benefits of TPO and TPFT cover, plus all those unexpected incidents that you can't blame on anyone else!

    Third Party, Fire and Theft Cover (TPFT) is the middle tier of cover. Great for providing fire and theft protection, but it does NOT cover any accidental damage caused by you (if you're hit by a third party you can claim from their insurance).

    Third Party Only (TPO) Cover is the minimum level of insurance you are required to have before you can park your van on the street or use it on public highways. It means you are legally allowed to drive it and provides some cover for damage or injury you might cause.

    SORN Insurance provides some fire and theft cover whilst your van is not taxed, but nothing else... It's only available if you park your van on private property whilst it is declared SORN, such as the driveway or in a locked building (if you park on the street you need to tax it).
