What Is Truck Fleet Insurance?

Truck fleet insurance, or HGV fleet insurance as it’s also known, is a specialist insurance policy for people needing to insure two or more trucks or heavy goods vehicles.  A flexible policy, cover through Instatruck can include the following useful options:
  • Truck breakdown insurance
  • Goods in transit insurance for truck owners
  • Public liability insurance
  • Loss of licence insurance
  • Truck legal protection
  • European cover
What Types Of Truck Fleet Insurance Are There?

As with most motor policies, there are three types of truck fleet insurance:

  • Third-party – the minimum legal requirement to drive your truck on the road.  This will ensure that you are covered should you damage someone else’s vehicle if the accident is your fault
  • Third-party, fire, and theft – this will ensure that you are covered should you damage someone else’s vehicle if the accident is your fault or if one or more of your trucks is accidentally damaged or destroyed by fire or stolen
  • Fully comprehensive – provides the same cover as third-party, fire, and theft, but if an incident is your fault, then repairs to your vehicle will be covered

Which form of cover is right for you is dependent on your budget and your specific needs.  If you’d like some help getting the haulage fleet insurance that’s right for you, then call the independent team at Instatruck on 01332 320540.

Truck Fleet Insurance Policy Options

As well as the above, commercial fleet insurance for trucks comes with the following important policy options:

  • Public liability insurance  – if one of your truck drivers accidentally injures a member of the public or damages their property, you can be sued for compensation.  Public liability insurance of between £1m and £10m can protect you from any losses should you be found liable  
  • Goods in transit insurance – truck goods in transit insurance protects cargo while it’s being moved or stored by you.  Should your cargo or your own goods be damaged, lost, or stolen while being moved, you’ll be able to claim for any losses
  • European cover – European cover will insure your trucks and drivers if they do European runs
  • Loss of licence insurance – if you were to lose your HGV licence, loss of licence cover would compensate you for losses for an agreed period.  This is unlikely to  payout in the event of a drink driving, wreckless driving or other at-fault ban
  • Truck legal protection insurance – covers you should someone make a compensation claim against you or your company.   If you have legal fee cover as part of your truck legal protection insurance that will fund the defence of the action
  • Truck breakdown and recovery insurance – if your truck is off the road, it’s costing you money.  Truck breakdown and recovery insurance can help get your lorries back on the road and back in business more quickly

What Are The Benefits Of HGV Fleet Insurance

We’re often asked by hauliers and logistics companies what are the benefits of fleet insurance.  There are several, the biggest ones being:

  • It can work out cheaper – by insuring multiple vehicles on an HGV fleet policy, you can    potentially reduce your overall truck insurance costs
  • It can save you time – like all fleet insurance, having one policy to administer means a truck fleet policy will save administration time versus having to look after several single vehicle policies
  • It’s flexible – you can add or remove trucks and drivers as you need to, and you can also insure your entire team to drive any of your trucks thanks to an any-driver policy option
