Levels of HGV Insurance Cover we can compare
We can provide three different levels of cover for our HGV drivers.
Comprehensive
Comprehensive insurance provides cover for drivers in all potential accident scenarios. This level of cover is recommended to all drivers because it also covers their vehicle.
Goods In Transit cover is not typically included as standard in HGV Insurance policies but is usually an added optional extra.
Third-Party, Fire and Theft
Third-Party, Fire and Theft will cover drivers if any damage is made to another vehicle or if another driver claims against them, plus it covers the cost of the vehicle should it be stolen or damaged by fire (minus any excess), however, this level of cover offers no accidental damage cover for the driver’s vehicle.
Third-Party Only
Third-Party Only is the lowest level of cover drivers can get, and will cover the driver for damage to any other vehicle or third party, in the event of a fault accident.
