A UK van insurance specialist has offered recession-hit commercial vehicle drivers advice on how to navigate today's tricky financial waters.
According to the UK van insurance specialist's managing director, significant savings can be made in the totality of small actions.
For example, he says that meaningful fuel-consumption savings can be achieved by ensuring the van is aerodynamic, travelling without unnecessary weight, not travelling above 60mph, driving smoothly and driving in the highest gear suitable to the circumstances.
Additionally, he said that a preventative approach to maintenance is likely to be more cost-effective than constantly having to fork out for emergency repairs.
He also said that intelligent use of satellite navigation systems can save both time and money. By planning routes and avoiding dense traffic, drivers can avoid unnecessary stress on both themselves and their vehicles.
However, it is not surprising that the specialist said that the largest savings can be made by seeking a quote from the right UK van insurance company. "A broker may be your best friend when it comes to protecting your van as well as yourself," said the spokesperson.
