How to save on HGV Fleet Insurance

At Jensten Insurance Brokers, we’re committed to finding our clients a great deal on quality cover.  Having provided many, many HGV Fleet Insurance quotes, we’ve learned a thing or two about how to save money on your HGV Fleet Insurance policy, including:

1.  Get some independent advice – some policies will include add-ons you don’t need, and removing them can help you save money.  It’s important to make sure you aren’t over or underinsured, though.  If you are underinsured, you may face a significant shortfall in the event of a claim, and if you’re overinsured, you may be paying more than you need to.  Either way, it pays to get some independent insurance advice.

2. Search and compare – or better still, get an independent broker such as Jensten Insurance Brokers to do the comparison for you.  With our specialist knowledge and insurer contacts, we can help you get the right cover at the right price.  To get an HGV Fleet Insurance quote, call us on 0800 368 9018, request a callback, or start your Truck Fleet Insurance quote today.

3. Consider your drivers – avoid insuring younger drivers and those with poor claims histories. Also, while any driver option is convenient, it could prove more expensive than a named driver policy.

4. Build up your no-claims bonus – or you may be able to transfer your existing one to your new policy.

5. Raise your excess – raising your excess – the amount you pay in the event of a claim can reduce your premiums. If you have a good (low) claims history, this can be a good way of cutting your HGV fleet quotes.

How much does HGV Fleet Insurance cost?

As we’ll create your cover around you and your business, and given the different types of policies on offer, there’s no simple answer to that question.  What we can say is that your HGV Fleet Insurance quote will be based on factors such as:

The number of vehicles you want to insure.
The value of your vehicles.
Whether you have any employees.
If you have any employees.
The turnover of your business.
The nature of your business and the projects you do – European runs may push your premiums up.
The type of work you are doing and the value of your loads.
The size of the clients you work with.
Your claims history.
The age and condition of your trucks.
The age of your drivers.
Whether you choose a named or any-driver policy.

No, but you’ll obviously need Truck Insurance if you want to drive your HGVs on the road. If your business has any staff, then you must have a minimum of £5m Employers’ Liability Insurance; that is a legal requirement.

You’ll need to have at least two HGVs in need of cover. If you want to drive anything over a 3.5-tonne truck, an operator’s licence is required whether you are carrying your own goods or goods for hire, and reward.

Because accidents happen. Accidental damage to property, injury to a third party, stolen or damaged equipment and other unexpected events could lead to your business losing money and affect your business’s operations.

That will depend on the level of protection your business requires, the services you offer, if you have any employees, the number of trucks you need to cover, your drivers’ ages, your claims history, etc.  If you would like to get an HGV Insurance quote, call us on 0800 368 9018 or start your quote here.
