Damage to the van itself, not just the other vehicle involved.
Owner's policy untouched
Borrow a friend's or employer's van without affecting their insurance.
Certificate on acceptance
Once an insurer accepts, show its certificate at the depot or to the owner.
Cheaper than the rental desk
Typically far less than the daily waiver a hire company will offer you.
