Window Cleaner Van Insurance

Window Cleaner Van Insurance

Window Cleaner Van Insurance — Specialist Cover for Window Cleaning Businesses

Window cleaner van insurance is a specialist commercial vehicle policy designed to protect your van and the specialist equipment you carry — water-fed pole systems, ladders, water tanks, and pure water filtration units. Standard van insurance does not cover these items or the liability risks of working at height on customer properties. You need a policy built for the window cleaning trade.

At Vehicle Cover, we offer competitive prices with fire cover and fixtures and fittings included as standard. Our policies cover the vehicle, roof-mounted equipment, and all permanently installed gear. Optional extensions include tools in transit insurance, breakdown and recovery, legal expenses, employer's liability up to £10 million, and public liability up to £5 million. Employer's liability is a legal requirement if you employ anyone.

Whether you are a sole trader with one van or a business with a fleet, Vehicle Cover will find the right cover. We insure window cleaner vans, pressure washing vans, and gutter cleaning vehicles.
