An out of action lorry means lost business so our a range of breakdown insurance cover is there to get you back up and running as quickly as possible.
Excess Protection
Excess protection insurance covers you against the cost of your insurance excess should you need to make a claim as a result of a fault accident. A choice of indemnity levels mean you can easily select the right protection for your needs.

Do I need an operator's licence?
You will need an Operator's Licence if your business uses goods vehicles above 3.5 tonnes. There are certain exemptions so if you are unsure please check the VOSA website here. Please bear in mind that it takes on average three months to get your operator's licence so apply as soon as possible. We can offer restricted cover as soon as you make your application and full cover once the licence or an interim licence has been issued.
Do you provide insurance for a new venture?
Yes, we offer cover for new ventures and also for people who have only recently obtained the appropriate HGV licence. In certain circumstances, new ventures can obtain an introductory discount which can help make the cost of starting out more affordable.
I am starting a new company and have previous experience - do you offer commercial insurance that reflects this?
Yes, we can offer generous discounts where proof of experience and claim free driving can be provided. (Subject to underwriting criteria)
Do you offer Skip Lorry Fleet Insurance?
Yes, and you only need two vehicles to qualify. We have a panel of insurers who will take on new fleets of HGVs as well as existing.

We can arrange cover for drivers aged 25-69. Younger drivers can sometimes be covered - please contact us to discuss your requirements.
Will I get a like-for-like replacement vehicle in the event of an accident?
Our optional legal protection policy, as well as providing a valuable claims management service, will provide a vehicle of similar type and size if you’re involved in a non-fault accident (subject to availability).
What duration of cover can you arrange?
All HGV insurance policies run for a 12-month period.
Do I need Employers Liability Insurance?
Employers Liability insurance is compulsory if you have employees. It enables the employer to meet the cost of compensation should injuries or illness to employees occur as a result of their job.
