Why get Haulage Insurance?
Haulier insurance is the safest way to protect your haulage fleet and keep your business operational. You can get complete peace of mind that all your vehicles are covered at all times, because haulage fleet insurance allows multiple vehicles to be insured under one easy to manage policy, which means you only have one renewal date to worry about.
Haulier insurance can also include any driver restrictions, making it easier to manage employees and drivers. You can also cover any driver to drive any vehicle on your fleet, or even set a minimum age requirement to save money like over 25 drivers or over 30 drivers.
Also, keeping all your haulage vehicles insured on a single haulage or light haulage insurance policy allows your business to become fleet rated, for every year of claim free driving, which can make your vehicle fleet not only easier to manage but cheaper to insure.

Types of Haulage Insurance cover we offer
- Comprehensive – we always recommend comprehensive insurance when insuring a fleet of lorries. This means if one of your drivers has a collision on the road, the insurance will cover them whether they were liable or not. It’s the highest level of coverage available, protecting your own vehicles as well as vehicles or property belonging to other people.
- Contents Insurance – commonly known as GIT insurance or haulage goods in transit insurance. Insuring the contents of your lorries is always advisable, as the damage that can occur to goods can result in huge financial loss whether they are your own or a customer’s goods that you are transporting. Check out our haulage Goods in Transit Insurance page here.
- Public Liability – if a member of the public were to be injured by or because of the actions of one of your drivers, then you could find yourself facing large compensation costs and also legal costs if a claim is made against you and it goes to court. You can include cover for legal costs on your policy too.
- Breakdown Recovery – to keep your business operational, we always recommend adding good HGV breakdown cover to your transport insurance policy that gets you back on the road as quickly as possible should the worst happen.
