Underwriter briefReady

What underwriters will focus on

An ice cream van needs specialist commercial motor consideration alongside public/products liability and employers’ liability if staff are employed. Underwriters will focus on roadside serving, food hygiene, refrigeration equipment and any LPG or generator use; fleet capability does not establish single-van acceptance.
