Often, when you hire a van,
it's better not to arrange short term van insurance cover with the van
hire company. There are several reasons for this.
Firstly, that company has selected which short term van insurance provider it works with, not you, and therefore there will be likely commercial considerations - especially the size of their commission - that will mitigate against you getting the best value for money. Secondly, the van hire firm has a fleet of vans to keep on the road and may include a fairly inclusive level of features in the short term van insurance policy to meet that requirement. Thirdly, a large excess may be of no consequence to them, but it matters to you. This is a common way for van hire companies to appear competitive, when, in fact, the short term van insurance policy leaves much to be desired. Fourthly, the usual approach is for the person hiring the van to sign all the paperwork fairly quickly just before driving the van away, with the salesperson pointing out where to sign on a detailed form with a lot of small print. The whole process is predicated on trust - something, frankly, you haven't yet had the time to build up - rather than knowledge, with only the backup of contract law to protect you if things go wrong and you signed an unfair contract.
