What is insurance for HGVs?
HGV insurance is a legally required protection for any heavy goods vehicle. It can protect you, your business, driver and any third parties when claims are made as a result of road traffic accidents or damage to people or property in connection with your HGV vehicle. You can also arrange cover for the freight that you carry, to protect the cost of replacing damaged, stolen or lost items in transit.
Single HGV insurance protects only one vehicle. If you have multiple vehicles to insure, HGV fleet insurance may suit your needs more.
Do I need HGV Goods in Transit insurance?
Goods in Transit insurance (more commonly known as freight cover for HGVs) is a recommended cover with HGV insurance policies. Freight cover provides protection should there be loss or damage to any goods in the HGV while the vehicle was on the road.
How do I choose my insurance policy?
The details of precisely what you or your business does can have a significant impact on your insurance policy. That’s why you need a specialist insurance broker on your side. For example, you may carry frozen or refrigerated food. If the vehicle broke down or the refrigeration failed, you may be held liable for the goods being rendered unusable. It might be that you carry very high value goods and so again your policy needs to reflect the exact nature of the risk.
Cover can also be arranged for:
-
Employers' liability
-
Public liability
-
Office or base cover
-
Goods in transit cover
