The Alan Boswell Group Difference

We’re able to offer splitter van cover with no restrictions for people in the entertainment industry. Other insurers may exclude people from hiring your vehicle if they’ve had a Top 40 hit in the last ten years, but our policy will cover them. We won’t need you to contact us or complete an online form for every hire you arrange either. We’ll give you a detailed hire criteria list, so you can make an immediate decision on whether your customer qualifies.

Don’t worry if you’re new to the business either; while some insurers want you to have three years’ experience hiring out vehicles, we’ll happily cover new ventures. Our flexible policy will cover you if you have one vehicle or a large fleet. If the worst does happen, you will be assigned a dedicated claims handler who will understand the importance of getting the vehicle back on the road with minimal disruption.

We’ve also put together a range of useful guides, articles and tips for motorhome and campervan owners in our knowledge hub.
