Do I need MPV insurance?

If you drive an MPV, it’s essential to have the right type of insurance. For MPVs with fewer than 9 seats, a standard car insurance policy should suffice. However, for vehicles with 9 seats or more, you’ll need minibus insurance, which is specifically designed to cover minibuses.

Does the number of seats Increase the MPV Insurance Cost?
