Do you need a truck insurance policy?
If you own and intend to use a truck on a UK public highway which is over 7.5 tonne gross vehicle weight then an HGV insurance policy is required. Examples of these vehicle types, whether they do or do not include Cranes, Hook Lifts or Pumps, would be an Articulated Lorry, Tipper Lorry, Curtain Siders, Low Loaders, Cement Mixers, Car Transporters, Skip Lorry, Flat Bed Lorry, Rigid Vehicles, Beaver Tails etc.
How you are intending to carry your goods determine what HGV insurance cover you will require. The options can be:
– Haulage Insurance (Carriage of Goods For Hire and Reward) – this cover will be required if you are charging to deliver someone else’s goods
– Social Domestic and Pleasure Insurance – usually for personal use (Horsebox etc.)
– Carriage of Own Goods Insurance – for the carriage of your business goods only (Scaffold Company etc.).
Insuring HGV’s follows the traditional types of cover of Comprehensive, Third Party Fire and Theft and Third Party Only. All insurance policies will carry an excess (the first part of any insurance claim which you are responsible for). All excess vary from each and every HGV insurance broker, be assured you check this when comparing quotations.
Windscreen cover is usually not available on Lorry Insurance Policies however some HGV insurance companies can offer this with some Comprehensive products, this incurs an extra excess.
