Van insurance · Singapore

Van insurance that works as hard as your van does.

客货车保险 · 新加坡

The short answer: The Insurance Exchange arranges commercial van insurance across Singapore's major insurers, using our volume-negotiated rates plus an agency discount on top — and we renegotiate your premium at every renewal. One WhatsApp with your vehicle log card gets you a quote, usually the same day.

Hiace, NV350, NV200, Transit — we insure them all.

Electricians, aircon crews, renovation contractors, delivery fleets — vans are most of what we do, which is exactly why insurers give us their better rates.

Comprehensive

Own damage + third party + fire & theft. The right call for newer vans, and required if your van is financed. Costs the most — which is why our stacked discounts matter most here.

Third Party, Fire & Theft

Covers damage you cause to others, plus your own van against fire and theft. A middle path for vans past their first few years.

Third Party Only

The legal minimum, and honestly the smart choice for older vans — comprehensive quotes on aged vehicles rarely justify the premium. We'll tell you when this is the better math.

What actually moves your van premium.

  • Van age — once a van crosses roughly 10 years, most insurers only want to offer Third Party Only or TPFT; comprehensive becomes scarce and pricey.
  • Your NCD — commercial NCD caps at 20% (not 50% like private cars), and it transfers between insurers. We verify it for you, no paperwork.
  • Nature of business — what the van does all day matters to insurers; some trades simply price higher than others.
  • Hire or reward use — carrying goods for others (couriers, logistics) costs more to insure than carrying your own, and the excess rises with it. Declare it correctly: undeclared use can void a claim.
  • Attachments & modifications — canopies, boxes, tailgates and other add-ons raise the premium and must be declared.
  • Who drives — drivers under 26, over 70, or licensed less than 2 years usually trigger an additional excess (YEID clause).
  • Workshop plan — approved-workshop policies are cheaper than any-workshop, and for most working vans, entirely sufficient.

Every one of these is a lever we pull when shopping your quote across insurers — it's why two quotes for the same van can differ by hundreds of dollars. Want the full picture? Read what actually decides your premium.

One log card. That's the whole form.

  1. 1 Attach your vehicle log card — PDF preferred, or just take a photo — and WhatsApp it to 8832 1392. That's all we need.
  2. 2 We read it and check your NCD ourselves — our system verifies it directly, no paperwork, no proof needed.
  3. 3 Quote lands back in your chat. Like it? We bind cover and you get on with your day.

Van insurance questions, answered straight.

How much does van insurance cost in Singapore?
It varies more than most people expect — the same van can be quoted hundreds of dollars apart depending on your NCD, claims history, driver ages and coverage type. Older vans on Third Party Only sit at the low end; newer vans on comprehensive cover with young drivers cost the most. The only accurate answer is a real quote: WhatsApp us your vehicle log card and we'll price it exactly — usually the same day.
Is NCD for commercial vans different from private cars?
Yes — commercial vehicle No Claims Discount is capped at 20% (private cars go up to 50%). The good news: your NCD is fully transferable between insurers, and we can verify it ourselves with no paperwork from you — so switching to a cheaper insurer never costs you your discount.
Can any of my employees drive the van?
Usually yes — most commercial policies cover any authorised driver with a valid licence, without naming individual drivers. Watch for one thing: drivers under 26, over 70, or with less than 2 years' experience often carry an additional excess (the YEID clause). Tell us who drives and we'll pick a policy that fits your crew.
Comprehensive, TPFT or Third Party Only — which should I choose for my van?
A rough rule that serves our clients well: newer or financed vans → Comprehensive (banks usually require it); older vans → Third Party Only — insurers quote high for comprehensive on aged vehicles and theft risk for working vans in Singapore is low, so the extra premium often isn't worth it. TPFT sits in between. We'll tell you straight which one the math favours for your van.
