Pickup Truck Insurance Quote
What is pickup insurance?
If you drive a pickup – a vehicle that has a front cab and an open cargo area at the back, then you’ll need specialist van insurance. Luckily you’ve come to the right place!
Pickups can be used for all sorts of tasks and activities, from deliveries and carrying tools and equipment to being driven for social use and activities such as motor cross racing. The type of pickup insurance you’ll get depends on what you use your vehicle for, and this is where we can help.
Key points to remember when choosing a policy
- Insurers class pickups as vans rather than cars, meaning you need van insurance
- Information on use, such as social use and carriage of own goods will affect your policy choices so try to be as clear as possible. However, if you use your vehicle for work purposes you will need to ensure you have cover for carriage of goods
- If you want to use your vehicle for both personal use and for travelling to and from work, you need to select the correct class of use, and in this instance it would be social, domestic, pleasure and commuting (SDP+C)

From Business to Pleasure, From Modified to Electric. Any trade, any van. CVD covers it all.
What insurance cover is available?
Our policies will be based on your vehicle type and individual circumstances, including:
Choosing the right pickup policy
Commercial pickup insurance
You’ll need commercial pickup insurance if you rely on your van to carry out your trade or profession, or even just to commute to a single place of work.
If your pickup is modified with special equipment that you use for your work, or if you carry deliveries on board, you must tell your insurer as it might affect your policy.
Private pickup insurance
This insurance will cover you to drive your van solely for social reasons, such as seeing friends or carrying out some of your favourite activities or hobbies. If you want to travel to work as well, all you need to do is to let us know and we can ensure you have the correct cover.
