What is courier insurance?

Running a business comes with a lot of responsibilities and administration tasks, and often not enough time in the day to get everything done given you spend most of it on the road. That’s why we’re here to help you with your courier insurance, no matter if you drive a van, car, motorbike or scooter we ensure you get a policy that meets your exact needs.

We recognise that light haulage vehicles cover more mileage than standard vehicles, and that as a result they’re at a greater risk of accidents and theft. Standard policies will often not cover vehicles that are used for the carriage of goods and/or in connection with your work, meaning its crucial you get the appropriate insurances in place.

Our cover provides you with peace of mind that should the worst happen you’ll be covered and be able to continue working. It’s not just your vehicle that we can cover, we can cover the liabilities, goods, breakdown, young drivers, and for almost all trades and professions on a single or fleet basis.
