Five Options For Minibus Insurers Buyers

If you have a vehicle that can accommodate 9-16 people that means that we are talking about a minibus. Minibuses are the best option when you need that extra passenger space, the space that can't be squeezed into an MPV and yet is too much if one considers a bus or coach. If you have a minibus, you definitely need to have insurance tailored to meet your driving requirements.

The good news is that there are so many insurance companies battling with each other when it comes to insurance, you will be able to take advantage of the competitive prices which they have to offer. You will need to look for the most economic insurance options that you have however, you must know the different types of minibus insurance which are available. The 5 main options for insurance buyers are below.

1. Third party only cover: This is the minimum required by law, if you want to get your minibus on to the road. This insurance cover in case of an accident would cover any injury or death claims to any third party affected by the accident. This policy would also cover if the property of a third party is damaged.

2. Comprehensive minibus insurance cover: Over and above what is included in the third party insurance cover, this policy would take care of most risks. There are various kinds of comprehensive insurance policies which differ from one to another, as the inclusion of the risks covered would vary between insurers. If you are looking for a comprehensive insurance, which means that you want to manage and cover all the possible risks, depending upon what your expectations are, you could choose from the specific risks that a given policy covers. For example, one policy may have cover for medical expenses after the accident or replacement of windscreen if damaged due to the collision. Knowing the possible risks that your minibus could be exposed to will help you make an informed choice as to which cover is most suitable and which companies are offering the best value for money.

3. Third party, fire and theft insurance: As the name suggests clearly, if you are looking at this cover, your minibus would be covered in case of a theft or fire, as well as for third parties. For example if you park your minibus in a public parking place or known high risk theft area this type of policy may be the best option.

4. The add-ons: The above are the basic three options that a minibus insurance buyer would have. However, any policy that you chose could be customised by adding some of your specific needs, such as breakdown cover and public liability cover.

5. Travel abroad: This may be included in some minibus insurance as part of the policy, however, if you intend taking your minibus out of the UK you will need to check that you have appropriate cover, never assume anything is inclusive, always check the policy to be sure you are getting exactly the cover you need.
