Insurance providers are beginning to brace themselves for the numerous claims that occur throughout the winter period. Both van and car insurers are well aware that we are getting ever closer to the Christmas season and with that comes the transportation of large products, multiple parcels as well as harsher road conditions. Combined these two elements spell out an increase in the number of claims as well as their severity. The area of Whitby has been hit hard by this reality and they are now dealing with the upset and heartache that is usually associated with an accident.

Motorists are struggling to keep their vehicles on the road because of the snow and the icy roads, in one incident a Vauxhall Vectra and a van came together in a collision, they were later joined by a BMW.

Similarly when it is time to renew their insurance policies, both the car and van driver maybe looking at a higher annual premiums.
