If you own vehicles in excess of 3.5 tonnes gross vehicle weight (GVW) then our Commercial Vehicle policy is probably for you. It also covers any “Special Types” such as electrically driven vehicles designed for the carriage of goods for business purposes, regardless of GVW. (eg a Milk float). Cover is provided for business use only – carriage of your own goods, carriage other than for hire and reward or carriage for hire and reward. We base the premium on the GVW, use of the vehicle, where it is kept and it’s value.

What types of vehicle can be covered?
The types of vehicle that can be covered under our Commercial Vehicle policy include:

• Any goods vehicle above 3.5 tonnes GVW.
• Any electrically driven vehicle used for the carriage of goods for business.
