Van Pricing

In May 2017, Gladiator Commercial, our van broker, changed to Admiral Van, our direct insurance provider. In the 5 years since then, Van has gone from generating around £2m profit per year to £20 - £25m - a ten-fold increase.

Van insurance is Admiral UK’s 2nd largest product by premium and 3rd by number of customers. Admiral is the UK’s largest Commercial Vehicle insurer.
