What is courier insurance?
Sometimes referred to as ‘hire and reward’ insurance, it is a specialist cover, which is usually put together as a package. You’ll need it if you’re paid to make regular deliveries like parcel deliveries, letters, or boxed items.
​
Courier van insurance is different from haulers’ insurance, which covers LGV drivers making long trips that mostly involve just one or two deliveries.
Please note that courier insurance won’t cover you for removals, house clearances, or for transporting high-risk or hazardous goods. It also does not include breakdown cover, goods in transit, or public liability!

What are the extras to consider when buying courier insurance?
Goods in Transit
Goods in transit insurance protects the goods you transport as a courier against damage or destruction, loss, theft, delayed delivery, and consequential losses for items not delivered correctly.
Public Liability
Whilst in many instances your business motor insurance policy will cover damage or injury to third parties whilst using the vehicle, there are many instances where your business will bring you into contact with the public outside the everyday use of the vehicle and that`s when you need public liability insurance.
Employers Liability
If you are unsure whether you are required to carry Employers’ Liability cover, you should seek professional advice. Further information can be found at http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/hse40.pdf.
​
If you are an employer, you are legally obliged to have employer liability insurance. You can be fined up to £2,500 for every day you do not have appropriate insurance.
​
Breakdown Cover
Motor Breakdown Insurance will ensure that if you break down, there’s a trained professional on hand to get you back on the road as quickly as possible.
