Key features of commercial motor cover

Commercial motor differs from private motor in several important ways.

Loading & Unloading

Third party liability extends to accidents occurring during loading or unloading of the vehicle.

Driver & User Indemnity

Cover for the driver acting on the insured's order or permission, and for any authorised user of the vehicle.

Passenger Indemnity

Liability to passengers is covered, including any claims arising while passengers are boarding or alighting.

Legal Costs

Legal costs in the defence of any covered claim are included as standard.

Trailer Liability

Third party cover while a trailer is attached to the insured vehicle. Some policies extend to comprehensive cover.

Important exclusions

What is not covered

Standard market exclusions apply to all motor policies - your broker will explain any that are relevant to your situation.
