    Hi, as a 37 year old male, I now need to buy a car/van. I have years of accident-free driving in a company vehicle, will this help me?

    Has anyone any recommendations on this, as I don't want to buy something to later find out that the insurance is crazy or taxing a different type of vehicle would have been cheaper.

    Are vans cheaper to tax and insure? Won't be able to spend much, a max of €2000 and a grand for tax+insurance.

    Thanks in advance.

    You will require a letter of driving experience from the insurance policy(ies) companies for the last 5 years consecutive (if open drive was in-place then a letter that you were not listed as driver for incident) & a letter from your employer confirming you had sole use of that car/van.

    without the above letters or info then quotes could range from €297 to €€€€€€€€
