O
Is that due it's age?

My 2012 Vivaro cost £54.95 for 3 star cover. That includes roadside, recovery and home start.

probably. green flag doubled the renewal when van became 16 years old.

Green flag did the same to me, I was not amused! I don't currently have any on mine but I do most of my own work and repairs to it so I know most of the time what is going to break and sort it before it does. I always have someone who can recover me even if it's not immediately, and last time I called out green flag it took them 5 hours to recover me 20 miles!

Interesting thread, I have breakdown cover through my Nationwide account. The account fee is £13/month and I often look to see if I'd be better off getting a free account and paying for the insurances I get separately.

This thread has prompted me to look again and I too can get the Start Rescue package for £54.95/year which is good. But factoring the travel insurance and mobile phone insurance I get I'm still better off with Nationwide. Though obviously if this lockdown continues for much longer the travel insurance becomes pointless and I'll look again.

Start Rescue cover my van for business use.
Practically every van in the country is used for business.
