Car or Van? Admiral insurance

[GingerMonster]

Hi there - I’ve had my Alphard insured by Admiral the last 6 or so months. I’ve just had a small conversion (back seats removed, rock n roll bed fitted) and now they’ve asked if it’s a van or car. I said car?! No details under section J of the VC5 doc, and guidance online very grey. What have others insured there’s as please?

Hello Angela,

 

Welcome to the Forum.

 

Sorry to disappoint you, imho, but it is an MPV; Multi Purpose Vehicle.

 

I would say a van; a converted one at that.

 

Many insurers will not insure converted Alphies.

I feel sure I read recently, in this Forum, that Admiral (a Canadian company I think) will.

 

There is a long thread in the Forum regarding Insurance, try using the search box 'Insurance Companies'.

 

Good Luck.

It would appear that once converted, it all turns into a bit of an insurance minefield, I will be following any posts regarding this with great interest for when I eventually convert.
