What to consider when selecting insurance for your truck.

30/7/2016

0 Comments

 
Selecting the right insurance to cover your truck or fleet of trucks is an important decision for any business that depends on their trucks. Whether you run a transportation business or depend on your truck to make deliveries for your business your business is at significant risk if you are not adequately covered through appropriate truck insurance. Possible financial and operational losses you may face without the right truck insurance could include:

  • Damages caused to 3rd party vehicles and property
  • Loss of business income
  • Costly repairs or replacement costs for your truck

Some important considerations when choosing your truck insurance should include:

1) Valuation of your truck

Under or over estimating the value of your truck can have a negative impact on your business. If your valuation is too low than your insurance payout if required will leave you short when trying to replace your truck. Conversely if your valuation is too high than you will pay a higher premium than required.

2) Coverage level

Whether you need 3rd party or comprehensive truck insurance will depend on the truck valuation and the business impact of losing your truck. Beware of saving a few dollars on your truck insurance as your insurance will pay dividends and be one of your better financial decisions if you ever need it.

​3) Truck use and type

Be specific with the use of your truck and also the type of truck you have. Whether it be a tipper truck or a prime mover used to provide landscaping material deliveries ensure the details you provide are accurate and up to date.

4) Excesses & Choice of repairers

Understand the terms and conditions included in your policy. For example most policies will allow for a flexible excess level but ensure you think of the benefits and cons of a lower excess to save on your annual premium.

5) Who will be driving the truck?

Naming the truck drivers and providing all driver details and history of all drivers will ensure you are covered and the policy is specific to your needs.

To find the right truck insurance for your business whether you be a sole trader running a small delivery business or a large commercial transportation business with a large heavy vehicle truck fleet you need to:

- Define your insurance needs to match your business
- Negotiate with numerous large insurance companies to investigate the best cover available
