That sounds about right !! Contact your insurers and they should be able to sort it for you.

Richard the problem you might have is your car no claims on non transferable to van insurance and also check you have the right licence as well you may have to do a towing test depending on the wheelbase of the van

i have my Driving/towing up to 7.5 tons on my license as i past before new rules came in,

As for no claims bonus, that is usually only applicable to just ONE vehicle ( the main vehicle) you own.
If you purchase a second vehicle to use , NCB isn’t usually allowed on the second vehicle.
Classic insurance say for a collection of classic motorcycles, is avaliable, to cover whatever amount you own , on ONE policy.
I’ve done that and got the T shirt also !!!
