Why get a HGV insurance quote?
In 2016, despite making up only 10% of all traffic, 6,092 HGV crashes occurred in England and Wales (more than 16 a day). They are five times more likely to be involved in a fatal crash on minor roads than any other vehicle. (Source: Brake).
In 2018, heavy goods vehicles (lorries) travelled 17.1 billion vehicle miles, representing 5.2% of total motor vehicle traffic (328.1 billion vehicle miles). Lorry traffic was up 13.3% from 1993. (Department for Transport, 2019) (Source: toptests.co.uk)
As British roads have become busier, HGV drivers have been exposed to more risks than ever before. Transporting goods on busy and congested roads can result in collisions and these can cost a fortune. Not only can injuries or personal damages occur, but vehicles can also need to undergo huge repair bills, goods in transit can be destroyed and this can result in significant losses and claims made. This makes getting a robust insurance for HGV policy so important, not to mention that it is also a legal requirement no matter how many vehicles you operate. 1st Choice Insurance can find you the cover you need whether you’re an individual owner-driver or a haulage company with a fleet of HGVs to protect.

How to get a Competitive HGV Insurance quote
That are lots of considerations that will be looked at when it comes to pricing up your insurance for HGV and rates can vary. Your insurer will be concerned about things like the value of your vehicles, where they are driven and if they go abroad, whether you carry hazardous goods or visit higher-risk locations. The drivers will be evaluated according to their age, driving experience, and history, and you may want to think about having camera systems or telematics devices added to your HGVs to ensure excellent driving behaviour. All of these things can affect the cost of your quote, we can also quote HGV insurance for young drivers too.
