Want to add 21 year old on my Commercial Vehicle Insurance

metroman

I wanted to add my daughters boyfriend, who was 21 last month onto my Commerical Van Insurance for two days starting tomorrow .. The van is a 1994 VW Transporter 1.9 Diesel (not Turbo).

I can't get hold of the insurers because they closed at 5.30pm

Its quite important, and I will be fretting slightly until I can call them at 9.00am tomorrow to see if I can do this, but have been told it might not be possible because he is under 25.

Can anyone tell me if there might be chance ... or whether there could be another way of going around this.

Thankyou

more to the point will her licence permit her to drive it the VW Transporter
"Motor vehicles with a MAM not exceeding 3500kg having not more than eight passenger seats with a trailer up to 750kg. Combinations of towing vehicles in category B and a trailer, where the MAM of the combination does not exceed 3500kg and the MAM of the trailer does not exceed the unladen mass of the towing vehicle"

i imagine thier licence will be ok for this van, its only a transporter, they arent capable legally of carrying more than 3.5 ton

They can't carry that much.

the license will be fine, as for insurance you insurer may not cover him on commerical insurance

try dayinsure or search insurance for a day

My point is that a lot of people think a 3.5 tonner can carry 3.5 tonnes. They can't. It's their maximum permitted weight, which is quite different. I merely wanted to clarify your statement, for the benefit of anyone reading.

Another insurer offering short term / daily van insurance is evaninsurance.co.uk
They are an online insurer so cover could be taken out anytime of the day. Bit late for this time around but worth considering if you need short term cover in the future?
