FAQ’s
What is Truck Insurance and Why Do I Need it?
Truck insurance is very similar to car insurance in that there are two components involved: Comprehensive insurance and Third Party Insurance.
- Comprehensive Insurance is insurance that covers damage done to your own insured truck and covers repairs caused by things that are unexpected such as fire, theft, collision or weather-related events.
- Third-Party Insurance – This type of insurance covers damage to other people’s vehicles and property. If your truck or machinery is damaged at the same time or in the same event and the accident is your fault then it will not be covered for repairs.
Truck insurance is essential for truck drivers and businesses as it provides financial protection against the risks associated with operating a truck. Accidents can happen at any time, and when they do, the financial consequences can be overwhelming. Having comprehensive trucking coverage is one of the smartest investments for your business. This form of insurance is essential because it addresses the unique risks and challenges linked to operating trucks in a commercial capacity.
It is important to note that the types of truck insurance available may vary depending on the insurance provider and the coverage required. It is recommended to seek professional help on what coverage you need before you get a quote.

How long does it take to receive my truck insurance quote?
The majority of quotes will be returned within 2-4 hours. However if your quote is more involved, it could take 2-3 days.
I already have insurance and would like to see if I can obtain a better price, how long does this take?
If you currently have insurance in place and wish to remarket that insurance we recommend waiting until 30 days prior to your next renewal date as most insurer’s wont quote more than 30 days out.
We also recommend getting an up to date copy of your claims history for the previous 5 years.

Which types of commercial trucks are commonly insured?
In Australia, some of the common types of commercial trucks that may be insured include:
- Straight Trucks: These are box trucks or vans with a single, rigid frame and are used for local or regional deliveries.
- Box Trucks: Also known as delivery vans or panel vans, these trucks have an enclosed cargo area for transporting goods.
- Heavy Trucks: This is a broad category that can include various types of large commercial vehicles, including heavy-duty trucks used for various purposes.
- Semi Trucks: Similar to 18-wheelers, these large trucks consist of a tractor unit and one or more semi-trailers for long-haul transportation.
- Tow Trucks: These vehicles are used for towing other vehicles, and they may be insured to cover potential liabilities associated with towing services.
- Dump Trucks: These trucks are used for transporting and unloading loose materials, such as dirt, sand, gravel, or construction debris.
- Garbage Trucks: These vehicles are used for waste collection and disposal services.
- Flatbed Trucks: Flatbed trucks have an open cargo area without sides or a roof, making them suitable for transporting large and oversized loads.
- Ice Cream Trucks: These specialised trucks are used for selling ice cream and other frozen treats in certain areas, and they may be insured to cover equipment and inventory.
- 18 Wheelers: Also known as tractor-trailers or semis, these large trucks consist of a tractor unit and one or more trailers, making them suitable for long-haul transportation.
The specific insurance coverage and requirements for each type of commercial truck can vary, and business owners or truck operators in Australia should work with insurance providers to tailor their policies to their individual needs. It’s essential to consult with local insurance companies or insurance brokers and understand the specific regulations and requirements that apply in Australia for commercial truck insurance.
