Coffee & Smoothie Van Insurance
Coffee & Smoothie Van Insurance — Cover for Mobile Cafe Businesses
Coffee and smoothie van insurance is a specialist commercial vehicle policy for mobile cafe businesses. Standard van insurance does not cover the specialist equipment — espresso machines, blenders, refrigeration units, and gas or electrical fittings — that make your mobile cafe operational. You need a policy that protects your vehicle, your equipment, your stock, and your liability to the public.
At UK Sure, we offer competitive prices and optional extras to ensure your coffee or smoothie van is fully covered. Our policies include fire cover and fixtures and fittings as standard. Optional extensions include breakdown and recovery, legal expenses, business interruption, loss of stock, employer's liability up to £10 million, and public and product liability up to £5 million.
We insure all types of mobile cafe vehicles — coffee vans, smoothie vans, mobile barista units, juice bars, and eco-friendly electric Tuk Tuks. Both mobile and static units are covered.
