What is HGV Insurance?
HGV insurance is a type of commercial vehicle insurance that’s needed before you take a heavy goods vehicle out on the road as part of your business. You may also see it referred to as ‘truck insurance’.
HGV insurance will help to make sure there’s minimal disruption to your business in the event your HGV is stolen or in an accident and protect you from the cost of legal and compensation claims should you cause damage or injury to a third party.
Three levels of HGV Insurance
The first stage of building your HGV Insurance policy is choosing the right level of cover for your business.
The minimum cover you need (by law) is third party only (TPO). However, you can increase this level of cover if you want greater peace of mind:
This includes the cover you’d receive with Third Party Fire and Theft, with added protection for your own vehicles if you’re involved in a collision that’s your fault.
The same as Third Party Only, but with cover for your vehicles if they’re stolen or damaged by fire.
Covers any damage you cause to other people and their property. It doesn’t cover repairs to your own vehicles.
Types of HGV Insurance
Generally, there are two types:
This includes the cover you’d receive with TPFT, with added protection for your own vehicles if you’re involved in a collision that’s your fault.
This provides cover if you use your HGV to carry other peoples’ goods over long distances, normally one large load going to one destination.
