What is courier van insurance?
Courier van insurance – otherwise known as ‘hire and reward insurance’ – is the type of cover you need if you deliver other people’s goods in your vehicle within a small area. This insurance protects you against the distinct risk involved with working on the go.
Courier van insurance is slightly different from haulage insurance, which tends to cover drivers over longer journeys.
Do I need courier van insurance?
If you use a van to carry goods that don’t belong to you in exchange for payment, courier insurance is a legal requirement. This offers additional business use protection to your vehicle while you’re using it to transport goods.
You might also want to consider adding goods in transit cover to your policy, which insures the goods that you’re transporting. While this type of cover isn’t a legal requirement, it helps prevent you from having to pay out of pocket in the event goods are damaged, lost or stolen.
