Why do I need specialist haulage insurance?

The risk in every business is different. It’s important to work with an adviser who is technically proficient and who understands your sector, your specific business and its exposures as they change over time

Why do I need goods in transit cover?

For any haulier, warehouse operator or logistics operator, goods in transit is essential protection. However, it is often misunderstood, leading to hauliers and their customers not achieving the expected settlement following a claim, leaving your business at risk. We recommend a full review to help alleviate these unfortunate circumstances and, if required , we will assist in discussions with your customers so that all parties are fully aware of the outcome in the event of loss or damage to the customers’ goods whilst in your custody. We will work in partnership with you and your customer, ensuring a joined up and clear approach to what can be a complex subject .

How do I know if my Goods in Transit cover is adequate?

It is important that your insurer understands the trading conditions you have elected to operate under with your customers. This forms the basis of cover required. However, that is not where the complexities end. There are a number of factors that need to be addressed to ensure the cover meets the requirement in the event of a loss. Our advisers will be happy to discuss in more detail with you.

How do I reduce my premiums?

It all hinges around your previous three year claims experience and your risk management. Speaking to an adviser who understands the haulage and logistics industry and how to reduce claims is the best way to start.

What happens if I need to make a claim?

Claims never come at the right time, and our dedicated claims advisers are here to support you through the entire process. They understand what it means to your logistics business if you are without a vehicle or you have damaged or lost a customer’s goods and need fast and efficient settlement to maintain the operation and keep customers happy.
