What is window cleaner van insurance?
Window cleaner van insurance is business van insurance built around cleaning rounds and travel between properties. It covers the van itself, and your poles and ladders can be covered separately with Tools in Transit Insurance.
“A standard personal van policy usually won’t cover cleaning equipment or the fact you’re using the van for work.”
The right cover depends on:
The value of poles and equipment you carryWhether equipment is ever left in the vanHow many properties you visitYour driving and claims historyWhether you’re self-employed or have employeesWhether you work at height
