Exactly How Much Van Insurance Costs in the US

These are the average van insurance prices in the US for personal and commercial use:

  • Average personal auto insurance cost for vans – $1,329 per year.
  • Average commercial auto insurance cost for cargo vans – $4,750 per year.

But these prices are only estimates as your van insurance policy cost is based on many factors such as your driving record, age, and where you live.

The type of auto insurance policy (personal or commercial) that you’ll need depends on how the van is used.

For example, if you use your van for daily commute, a personal auto insurance policy will be your best bet, but if you use it for business/work purposes, then you’ll need a commercial auto insurance policy.

To give you a better idea of just how much your van insurance policy might cost, in this article I’ll cover the following topics:

  • Sample quotes for a personal van insurance policy.
  • Sample quotes for a commercial van insurance policy.
  • Average personal van insurance cost in the US.
  • Average commercial van insurance cost in the US.
  • Sample quotes for a personal van insurance policy.
  • Sample quotes for a commercial van insurance policy.
  • The primary factors that influence the price of van insurance.

 

Average Van Insurance Cost in the US

The average van insurance policy in the US costs around $142 per month or roughly $1,329 per year.

These prices are quite similar to the insurance premiums for the typical sedan, which has the same average monthly price, but the annual rate is usually higher at $1,700.

However, don’t forget that these are only rough estimates as the specific quote depends on the particular insurance company and what you use your van for.

For example, if you use the van for your daily commute to work or school, you’ll need a personal auto insurance policy.

 

Average Commercial Van Insurance Cost in the US

The average commercial cargo/delivery van insurance policy costs approximately between $3,300-$6,200 per year.

However, your exact insurance premium is affected by factors such as the state you live in, as some states require higher insurance coverage than others.

To give you a clue, here’s what the minimum and maximum annual commercial auto insurance policy costs are in a few specific states:

  • California: $574-$1,804.
  • Florida: $2,565-$3,370.
  • Maine: $486-$1268.
  • Michigan: $5282-$8723.
  • Minnesota: $983-$2271.
  • Montana: $641-$2525.
  • Oregon: $1136-$2205.
  • Texas: $890-$2594.

Note that you might encounter large price variations even within the same state.

Sample Quotes of Van Insurance For Commercial Use

Finding a commercial van insurance quote for your small business requires a lot of specific information, meaning that it was quite difficult to find insurance companies that are willing to share a sample quote just for exemple puroposes.

But I still managed to come across one company that provided a sample quote basic on pretty generic details and information, so you have an idea of how much commercial van insurance costs.

The Main Factors that Affect Van Insurance Cost

The specific price of your van insurance premium depends on various factors that insurance companies use to determine how much you’d have to pay per month and/or per year.

These are the 10 most common aspects that affect the overall cost of your van insurance policy:

  1. Your driving record.
  2. The amount of driving experience you have.
  3. The make, model, and year of your van.
  4. Your age.
  5. The condition of your credit score.
  6. The state and city that you live in.
  7. Previous insurance history.
  8. Marital status.
  9. Your gender.
  10. Number of miles you do annually.

Keep in mind that some of these factors, such as your driving history and vehicle type (make, model, year, etc.) have a weightier impact on the van insurance policy cost.

 

Conclusion

The average auto insurance cost for non-commercial vans is approximately $1,329 annually, while the average commercial auto insurance for vans is around $4,750 annually.

But don’t forget that the specific price for your van vary greatly from these estimates as each auto insurance policy is influenced by a number of important factors such as:

  • Driving history.
  • Make, model, and year of the van.
  • Annual mileage.
  • Age of the driver.
  • Location.

While the type of auto insurance (personal or commercial) that you choose will largely depend on what your van is used for.

If you use it for driving to work or school, then a basic auto insurance policy for personal use would do just fine.

However, if your van is used for work (e.g. as a delivery van), then you’d have to opt for a commercial auto policy.

And to get the most accurate van insurance policy quote, you’ll have to choose an insurance company and share the required details so that you’ll know how much the policy will cost in your case.
