Are you working for a company that requires you to drive for them? If so their insurance should automatically cover you - Any driver driving with the owners consent. But if you are looking to insure a vehicle soley in your name, you better win the lottery first. You could try sitting the advanced driving test, which I think you have to take within a year of passing your original driving test. ( cant think of the name of it off hand, ask a driving instructor) But quite a few insurance companies will give you a huge discount for having this extra certificate.

sorry don't know, just wanted to say congratulations,

of course you will.
but don't ask me about the price though.
it's gonna be so expensive.

Yes you can get insured for any vehicle under 3.5 tonnes .
If you want to drive larger van`s then you need to re sit your test again for the different class !

This depends on the insurer, and whether its a policy you will hold yourself or whether you are going to driver for a company. Most companies will not employ drivers under the age of 21 as the insurer will not take the risk, just a case of looking around and seeing what you can find, if its your vehicle then try confused.com, they are pretty good!

Forget it, you'd pay out the @$$ for that.

? Get your parents to insure it and put you on the policy as a named driver?

hard enough to get when you're an experienced driver!

yes but it would depend on the type of van and type of cover you could be looking at £3000

Fraid not. You have to be at least 21 to be included on Commercial Insurance, or have been driving for 3 years with a completely clean licence.

My Dad works with a 25 year old, and Insurance Company will NOT accept the 25 year old to drive the company vans that tow trailers until he has had a clean licence for 3 years.

If you go to dmv and ask for cdl manual test book and study it couple weeks and pass the test yes.


The Fat Controller
Yes if your licence is valid to drive it will be able to insure it but at a price

It depends on the company insurance policy.

I had my commercial insurance policy at 16.



And actually when I bought a new truck it was cheaper insuring it on my commercial policy than a personal policy. $3000 annually or $1200....


Commerical policies are rated knowing that there will be a wide variety of drivers, so it is more expensive for low risk drivers than a personal policy, but cheaper for high risk drivers (such as males under 25).

Don't know for certain, but I would check with different Insurance companies and as. I would imagine your rate will be very very high at your age.

Depending upon where you live, you might find that the insurance companies have a minimum age of 25 for commercial vehicle insurance. If they don't, then it is going to be very expensive since you are a new driver with no record. It might be worth your while to get on as a driver with someone who has several vans and drive for them for a while in order to establish your own record. If you are only talking a utility van or small truck (under 5 t) then you probably won't need a CDL (commercial driver's licence).

Good luck, the business can be cut throat.
