I purchased some Gap Insurance through Duncan at Riviera for my new BMW M440!I am absolutely delighted with the service I received and also the price I paid, BMW quoted me a figure that was 5 times higher than the amount I paid Riviera for effectively the same product. So for anyone looking for Gap cover all I can say is give Duncan a ring and you won't be disappointed !!

Since I started the insurance with them , I have received all the time email asking me for more money , The price in the first place was really good , now because I had accident which they said is was my fault they increase my insurance plus interests. Also I was bombarded with emails from them , every after email it said , we will not chase you again which they did all the time . Now I'm waiting to check how good they are if they ask me for more money , they will solve the customers complains or accident repair?

Absolutely FIRST CLASS! I had to arrange new building insurance very quickly, after purchasing the freehold, and Tom was so brilliant. He sourced the market, and came back with a great offer, which I accepted. He was so easy to deal with, so professional, and so helpful. Very impressed with Riviera's service, and would not hesitate to recommend them. I shall definitely be using them for all my future insurance needs.

Riviera brought some calm ground into my stressful property purchase process. Tom set up a fairly priced building insurance ready for exchange of contracts. He was friendly, reassuring and easy to contact. Just what I needed. Thanks.

I have found Riviera Insurance brokers to provide a good quality and professional service. I have used them for some two years now for insurance on my buy to let properties and they have always sought and found the most competitive policies for me to ensure that I don't spend over the odds on the insurance I am forced to purchase. I would highly recommend the service as well as the professional way they deal with me as their customer.

Highly satisfied, very patient with me and made everything clear. They spend ages on the phone with me ensuring I had the right policy and I never felt rushed. When I had to cancel the policy when I left the trade they were equally as friendly and helpful. Top marks!

What’s Goods in Transit Cover, and Do I Need It?

Goods in Transit cover is an essential component of courier van insurance. It protects the value of the items you’re transporting in case they are damaged, stolen, or lost during transit. It is highly recommended to ensure that both your van and the goods you carry are protected.

Do I need Courier Van Insurance?

If you use your van for commercial deliveries, then courier van insurance is a legal requirement in the UK. It’s essential to have the right cover to protect your business and comply with regulations.

What Level of Insurance Do I Need for My Courier Van?

The level of insurance you need depends on your specific business needs. Common options include:

  • Third-party only: Covers damage to third-party vehicles and property.
  • Third-party, fire, and theft: Adds coverage for your van in case of fire or theft.
  • Comprehensive: Provides the highest level of coverage, including damage to your van.

Choosing the right level of coverage is crucial to adequately protect your business.

Do Courier Van Policies Include Public Liability Insurance?

Some courier van policies may include public liability insurance, which covers third-party injury or property damage that occurs during your courier operations. It’s essential to check your policy to confirm if this coverage is included.

Do Courier Van Policies Include Employers’ Liability Insurance?

Employers’ liability insurance is typically not included in courier van policies. If you have employees, you may need to purchase this coverage separately to protect against claims related to work-related injuries or illnesses.
