Having appropriate insurance is advised for Providers. VanLife Connect does not provide insurance coverage for your work – you are responsible for protecting yourself.
In some cases, it’s mandatory:
- For certain trades and higher-risk services (for example electricians, plumbers, gas fitters or builders), our Terms require Providers to hold any licences and public liability insurance required by law. Providers may upload copies of their licences or insurance to their profile so other users can view them. VanLife Connect does not independently verify these documents, and Travellers should make their own enquiries where appropriate.
- If you have insurance, you can upload your certificate and get an “Insured” badge on your profile, which can make Travellers more comfortable booking you.
- If you don’t have insurance, Travellers may still book those marked “Not Insured” and accept the risk, but you and the Traveller are assuming more risk.
