Truck Insurance

How Much Does Truck Insurance Cost?

Unfortunately, truck or lorry insurance is not a 1 size fits all product so we can’t give you an indicative cost upfront but you can get quotes by completing our simple form and matching with providers that will contact you. There are a number of rating factors insurance companies and brokers consider, including:

• Truck Driving Experience - Do you have years of experience or are you new to truck driving? Insurers will consider your experience.
• Operators Licence - Do you hold an operators license? If so, you should find gaining insurance for trucks over 7.5 tonnes much easier than if you didn’t.
• Size of the vehicle - Insurers will need to know the size of the truck you plan on insuring with them. A 7.5 tonne truck could do much more damage to others than a 3.5 tonne vehicle, however a bigger vehicle is less potentially less likely to be stolen. All of these factors will be assessed.
• Level of Cover - Truck Insurance, just like car insurance is sold with multiple levels of cover from Third Party Only through to Comprehensive. Make sure you check your policy wording to ensure your policy matches the level of cover you need.
• Own Goods or Haulage - If you use your truck purely to move your own goods, you may find you get a different quote to those that use the vehicle for haulage purposes.
• Claims and Convictions - As with other vehicle insurances, claims and convictions have a big impact on costs. Try to keep on the right side of the law, and drive carefully to keep your costs low.
