Finding A Good Hgv Insurance Policy Which Suits You
Share:
Heavy Goods Vehicles are used by a range of different people
, businesses and organisations for a variety of purposes. Insuring a lorry can be a daunting task and there are a vast amount of complexities across an array of different policies available and it can be often be difficult to find HGV insurance that suits your specific needs.
Whether you need a heavy goods vehicle for business purposes such as freight shipping or personal social use such as moving horses for equestrian shows, there are insurance policies available that cater directly for you. Insurance brokers which do not specialise in HGV insurance will often provide you with expensive quotes for cover that you do not really need and that is why it is always best to buy your insurance from a broker which specialises in heavy good vehicles. Specialist brokers have experience in insuring HGVs for all different types of uses and they can usually provide you a good deal, which will cover you effectively for what you need to do.
It is always a good idea to provide as much information as possible to the insurer on what you will be transporting in the heavy goods vehicle and how much you plan to use it. If you do not need to use the vehicle regularly you may be amazed at how cheap it could be, with many policies costing less than your average car insurance quote. A useful tip for keeping your insurance costs down is to have one single owner-driver who has a clean driving licence and a number of years no claims.
If you are looking to use your heavy goods vehicles regularly for business or commercial use, this is likely to increase your insurance premium. However if you are to insure a fleet of heavy goods vehicles you can often receive large discounts or more extensive coverage for the same price. A comprehensive HGV insurance policy is always the best as it covers you for a large range of eventualities, this is important when you rely on your logistic operations for business success.
When taking out a HGV insurance policy its important to weigh up what you will receive in terms of cover for the price you pay. Important considerations are the cost of the excess, some insurers will look to place large excesses on commercial HGV insurance policies, whilst others sometimes offer excess free policies. Another consideration for inclusion is breakdown cover and 24 hour accident management; if you feel that your quote is very expensive ask if you are receiving this extra cover or added benefits.
