If you drive a Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) for a living, then you’ll understand that it’s a legal requirement to have your vehicle insured – and you want to make sure that your policy offers protection to you and other drivers. 

We help find cover for all HGV’s, Lorries and Trucks from 3 tonnes to over 60 tonnes. We can help with finding benefits and extras that suit your needs - it’s as simple or as complex as you need it to be.

When you look for a HGV policy, you’ll be asked for the same contact and personal details as you would when buying cover for any other type of vehicle. Expect questions on things such as the nature of your business, and the weight of your vehicle.

What Are The Different Levels Of Cover I Can Purchase?

When taking out a HGV insurance policy, you’ll be asked which type of cover you’d like to purchase. There are three levels of cover. Here are your options:

Fully Comprehensive

This is the most extensive level of cover available. It includes third-party, fire & theft. This protects you and other motorists from any damage you cause, as well as covering medical expenses.

Third-Party, Fire & Theft

This level of cover helps you if you’re responsible for damage to other people, passengers or their property and it will cover the cost of repairs. You are also covered if your HGV get stolen or damaged by fire. HOWEVER, if you’re responsible for an accident, this level of cover will not help pay for repairs to your vehicles or any medical expenses, you will have to pay the costs.

Third-Party Only

This is the most basic level of cover you can purchase and the lowest that it legally required. This will help pay for any damage you cause to other vehicles and property. There is no cover for you or your HGV. If your vehicle is damaged or stolen, you won’t be able to claim back the cost.
