And if you have ever wondered why there are so many different types of commercial UK van insurance, then have a read through the list below. You will soon begin to understand!

And these are only a few of the ways we use the van!

Chip Van
We all enjoy our fish and chips, don't we? But if we live out in a village, then there may not be a chippy anywhere nearby! Enter the chip van! For those of us that live in the more rural areas, these can be a godsend when we just don't feel like cooking!

Many villages will be visited by one of these on a certain day of the week and they can be a very welcome sight.

Ice Cream Van
Imagine what our summers would be like without the convenience of ice cream vans! Everyone associates their tinny jingles with the summertime, even if it will normally result in the kids pestering us for a lolly or a choc ice...

We all love it really!

Work Van
Plasters, joiners, electricians and plumbers would all struggle to carry out their work if they did not have a van. Not only are work vans ...
... an important means of transport, but they can also carry an enormous amount of tools, materials and equipment.

Camper Van
We even use vans for our holidays!

Every single year, thousands of us will ‘get our motors running and head out on the highway' in our camper vans. They really are a great way of getting away from it all.

Over the years, camper vans have also become a truly iconic vehicle amongst surfers and of course, vintage car collectors!

Delivery
Thousands of people order goods over the internet or phone every day and have them delivered right to their door. But this would be totally impossible if we did not have vans on our roads!

And now that so many of us are choosing to do our food shopping online they are becoming even more important.

Ambulance
Not having an ambulance service doesn't even bear thinking about! Hundreds of lives are saved every single day and it is all down to the amazing work of our ambulance men and women. But they would not get to those needing help without their special vans.

Police Van
This may not be the type of vehicle we choose to go for a ride in, but imagine how useful they are to our police force!

They will keep officers safe and away from harm and they are invaluable for transporting prisoners to and from court and prison.
These vans are also used by police dog handlers and their dogs when an emergency arises.
