Insurance
A Mothership is a high-value, custom-built van.
Insuring it properly usually means choosing coverage that understands both the base van and the conversion.

Choosing the Right Type of Policy
Owners often look for policies that:
Recognize the value of the completed build, not just the base van
Cover professionally installed interiors, systems, and equipment
Are designed for travel, camping, or RV-style use
In many cases, this ends up being an RV, conversion, or specialty vehicle policy rather than a standard auto policy.
Examples of Providers Owners Consider
Mothership Vans does not sell insurance and does not endorse specific companies, but some providers that owners commonly look into include:
Roamly – Known for insuring RVs, camper vans, and converted vehicles
Progressive RV – RV-focused coverage options that may apply to custom builds
Availability, fit, and pricing depend on location, usage, and the details of the van. Other insurers may also be an option.
How Owners Typically Handle Insurance
A common approach looks like this:
1. Describe the van clearly
Explain that it’s a custom or converted van with a high-end interior and systems, and how you plan to use it (travel, work, full-time, etc.).
2. Discuss the value
Work with the insurer to make sure the agreed value or stated value reflects the completed build, not just the base van.
3. Answer questions about usage
Be clear about mileage, trip length, storage, and whether it’s used for business, personal use, or both.
Insurers may request photos, descriptions, or purchase information to help them understand and value the van.
Mothership’s Role
Mothership Vans does not provide insurance, does not act as an agent, and does not have formal relationships with insurers.
All questions about coverage, claims, pricing, and eligibility are handled directly between the owner and the insurance company they choose.
Important Notes
Coverage, terms, and availability vary by insurer and by state or country.
Business use can change how a van is treated for insurance purposes.
