Why is a standard van or car policy unlikely to be suitable for my dog grooming van?
Most dog grooming vans are modified to some extent, but many of the insurers offering standard van or car policies see these modified vehicles as unsuitable risks and so turn them away, or seek to exclude the modifications. This is why you need access to a van or car policy that has been developed specifically with the needs of a mobile pet services business in mind.
Does SEIB offer insurance for modified vans and cars?
Yes, our policy includes cover for any pet services related modifications made to your vehicle. Mobile dog groomers may need to install sinks, showers and tables to their van. We know that your vehicle is your whole business on wheels which is why we’ve developed specialist van and car insurance to give you the best protection.
How much does dog groomers’ van insurance cost?
Probably less than you might think, but it all depends on your needs. Before we offer an animal trades van or car insurance quote, we’ll work with you to ensure your policy reflects exactly what you need, always considering your budget.

Is windscreen cover included in the policy?
Yes, windscreen cover is included as standard with comprehensive motor insurance. A £90 excess applies for windscreen replacement with a £Nil excess in the event of a windscreen repair.
