What does transport insurance cover?

Regional Insurance brokers have been finding the right business insurance packages for transport and logistics companies for over 40 years. With our expertise, every roadblock has a solution, protecting your business from costly setbacks while ensuring stability and continuity. We can assist in arranging a wide range of policies, including:
Public Liability
Insurance covers damage to third-party property or injury to the public during your daily operations. Accidents happen, and in the transport and logistics industry, a simple loading mishap or accident can cause property damage or injury to a third party, and you may be held liable. This insurance protects you from any financial losses from third-party claims or compensation.
Truck and fleet insurance
Protect your assets with insurance coverage that safeguards your vehicles against damage, theft, or total loss. This insurance minimises the time your fleet is out of work and alleviates financial strain by covering repair or replacement costs, helping you get back on the road as quickly as possible.
Downtime cover
Much like business interruption insurance, downtime coverage is an important safety net for transport companies. It helps protect cash flow by covering income loss when trucks are out of service due to accidents, damage, or mechanical failure. This coverage ensures that your business can continue operating smoothly even during unforeseen disruptions, allowing you to maintain financial stability and avoid the negative impact of extended downtime.
Goods in transit insurance
Goods-in-transit insurance protects your cargo and freight against damage or loss caused by collisions, accidents, or other unforeseen events during loading, transportation, and unloading. With this insurance coverage, customer shipments and freight remain secure, helping you maintain your reputation and client trust even in the face of unexpected incidents.
