Direct Line: Van break-ins frequent in the UK

Direct Line has conducted research which reveals that 21 vans are broken into in the UK every hour.

The car and van insurance provider claims that many tradespeople may not be doing enough to protect their vehicles and their contents after a survey it conducted found that 51 per cent of respondents do not have an alarm, 42 per cent do not have an immobiliser and 16 per cent do not even bother to lock their vans.

Direct Line also found that only 36 per cent of van drivers empty their vehicles of tools and other valuables at night.

Simon Henrick of Direct Line for Business said: "There are over 185,000 vans being broken into a year in the UK, and many drivers are making it an easy earner for thieves."

He added: "The loss of your tools or stock can have a severe impact on your business."

Drivers claiming for stolen tools or other items on their van insurance could also lose their no-claims bonus.
