Do I need Haulage and Transport Insurance?

If your business is specifically dedicated to transporting goods, then you will need a policy that covers ‘Goods for Hire and Reward’ usage to guarantee you are fully covered whilst on the road.

The benefits of one policy covering your business is:

  • Complete flexibility – Any of your drivers are covered to drive your vehicles as and when required
  • Less management – One policy covering all of your vehicles means less paperwork and only a single renewal date to remember
  • Cost saving – Often, insuring a number of vehicles on a small fleet insurance policy can work out cheaper than having a range of policies
What type of Transport Insurance do I need?

You need a Hire & Reward Drivers Insurance Policy by law if you are driving a vehicle that is carrying goods that are not your own as part of your job. It is worth considering the value and nature of goods held in your vehicle also consider goods in transit insurance.

Do I need to report incidents if I don’t intend on claiming?

You must report all accidents, theft, attempted theft, fire and malicious damage accidents even if you are not going to make a claim against your insurance. This is due to the fact you are in a contract with your insurance provider and this will be stated in your terms and conditions to the policy. If you fail to report any accident to your insurer your policy could be declared void and result in you being uninsured.
