subject: Critical Thinking As Regards Commercial Van Insurance [print this page]


Well, the subject is not as dull as it sounds, since critical thinking, reading and listening skills are surely necessary when purchasing commercial van insurance. In essence, you need to know what you require, and to be able to ascertain exactly what is being offered.

Some adverts might have us believe that if we do not 'hurry now' this limited time offer may expire and leave us without (sometimes we are never sure what we will be left without). However, when assessing a van insurance policy though the need may be immediate, we also need to exercise our critical skills and not be pushed into hurrying or buying more than we need or choosing less insurance than will meet the needs.

An example might be an extra service offered for a cheap van insurance policy that covers 'loss of license' or which offers a 'Tool cover'. Sometimes extras are good options for some commercial enterprises. For instance, the owner of the business drives the van, and may drive fast, and potentially lose their license. Yes, they might benefit from a loss of license cover. On the other hand, for the owner of a business who never drives the van and would release any employee without a license, well that addition does not seem useful does it.

Tool cover may be perfect for a commercial van, which ordinarily carries many expensive tools in the van, but a useless extra expense for the van used for a dry cleaner or courier service.

These additions sound perfect, but only if they meet a particular need and the additions can turn the cheap van insurance into very pricey cover indeed.

On the other hand, a company with very attractive rates that offers less cover on a policy than you need may not be the wisest choice.

Critical thinking skills are imperative here, what is it you are protecting against, and how much is enough? If you possess the resources to replace a van involved in an accident, then you probably are not worried about protection on the cost of replacing the van, on the other hand, if it would be a killing blow to have to replace a damaged van, then more of a policy will be required.

This is a decision that should be made by you, not under sales pressure. Yes, you may well be in a hurry to acquire a van insurance policy since you cannot use your van without it. However, you also should take a little time to compare insurers, what they cover under each policy as well as the eventual full cost including extras.

Critical thinking is probably taught in school these days, but for some reason we tend to react to certain words such as 'hurry' 'bargain' or 'limited time' and lose all those skills. Do not allow it to happen to you when choosing a cheap van insurance policy. Get all you need, no more but certainly no less, and compare the prices between insurers, there is always a bargain to be found.
