Frequently Asked Questions about Haulage Insurance
What is the difference between haulage and courier insurance?
Haulage insurance covers long-distance transport of goods, usually with pre-arranged deliveries, while courier insurance is for multiple short trips or same-day deliveries.
Do I need goods in transit insurance?
Yes, if you transport goods for hire and reward, you should protect those goods while in your care. Goods in Transit cover ensures you’re not liable for loss or damage to the items you carry.
Can I insure multiple vehicles under one policy?
Absolutely. Haulage fleet insurance allows you to cover several vehicles on a single policy, simplifying management and giving you one renewal date.
Is breakdown cover included automatically?
It can be added to your policy as an optional extra. We strongly recommend it for all haulage businesses to avoid downtime in the event of a breakdown.
What types of vehicles can be covered?
We can arrange cover for a wide range of vehicles, including articulated lorries, tippers, flatbeds, vans, and light commercial vehicles.
Does haulage insurance include public liability?
It can. Public liability is often added as part of a combined transport insurance package to protect your business against third-party injury or property damage claims.
