Insurance Premium Tax is a tax payable on insurance premiums and is set by the Government.
All documents outlining premiums, such as quotations, show how much insurance premium tax you're being charged. However, not all UK residents pay the tax, such as anyone who resides in the Channel Islands or Isle of Man.
Please note that HM Revenue and Customs has increased the rate of Insurance Premium Tax from 10% to 12%. This will affect all policies from 1st June 2017 and will be reflected in the renewal premium.
No, we don’t offer cover for tippers.
No. Direct Line Motor Legal Protection is an additional product which can be bought when you buy van insurance.
If legal protection cover has been purchased, this cover can be used following any road traffic accident involving your vehicle, which is not your fault, and you suffer losses you cannot recover from any insurance policy.
We will pay the legal costs of recovering uninsured losses from the party at fault as long as it is more likely than not that your claim will succeed.
It’s important that you take the drivers details including the vehicle registration number, make and model.
We’ll need the details of the driver if we’re to recover your losses from them.
If you’re involved in a road traffic accident which isn’t your fault we’ll pay the legal costs. Such as recovering compensation for any injuries sustained and loss of earnings from the person at fault as long as it’s more likely than not that your claim will succeed.

Uninsured losses are costs for which you are responsible. Examples include the policy excess, the cost of a hire van and any medical expenses you may incur. However, if you have Direct Line Motor Legal Protection cover we will pay any reasonable cost of legal proceedings against another person who is responsible for the accident, if it results in injury to you or uninsured losses being incurred.
The policy doesn’t cover Goods in Transit.
But it does cover tools whilst they’re in your van for loss or damage caused by fire, theft, attempted theft or an accident. Cover is up to a limit of £500 and subject to the terms and conditions contained in the policy booklet.
