Why do I need courier insurance, not just motor insurance?
It’s vital that you have courier insurance if you drive for a living and frequently transport items to clients or if you employ drivers to do so in order to maintain business operations. As a courier, it’s not just the vehicles you drive that have value. Additionally, you may be transporting valuable and important goods, so it makes sense to obtain coverage that protects against the particular risks you face.
Motor insurance doesn’t cover the needs of a courier driver. Insurance for courier policies is designed specifically for your courier business, and we understand that you need cover not just for your vehicle but also for damage or loss of goods that you are transporting and delivering.
Our courier policies can cover:
- Employers Liability
- Public Liability
- Hire and Reward
- Breakdown cover
- Legal expenses
Goods in Transit
& much, much more!
We offer excellent service with flexible payment options. We also send documentation via email to give you instant cover.

We will save you valuable time, hassle, and potentially money on your courier insurance.
Why should I compare my courier insurance?
Courier drivers spend their hours out on busy roads, trying to meet strict delivery deadlines and regularly travelling long distances to unfamiliar locations. From an insurance providers perspective, you present a higher risk than someone driving their vehicle for social, domestic and pleasure (SDP) purposes and unfortunately this is reflected in the cost of your premiums.

Is courier insurance mandatory?
Anyone who drives for a living and frequently delivers goods to clients is required to have courier insurance. The cost of courier insurance is usually higher than that of private vehicle insurance. This is due to the fact that driving with high mileage, stopping frequently, and working against the clock all carry extra risks.
Even though paying for insurance is something no one likes to do, not having courier insurance could mean the sudden loss of your business in the event of an accident, theft, or damage to your property.
