Recommended for trades
Whether your vehicles are on-road, off-road, on wheels or tracks, if you use vehicles for any part of your business then accidents, damage or theft can halt your business in its tracks.
Cover includes:
Legal liability - if your vehicle accidentally damages someone else’s car or property, we’ll pay up to $20 million if you’re legally liable for the costs.
Road clearing and load recovery costs - if you have an accident and your vehicle, including the load it’s carrying, is damaged, we will pay up to $20,000 towards transferring the load to another vehicle and removing it to the nearest place of safety, cleaning up debris and spillage on the road, and recovering any lost or fallen load.
Rental cover after theft - if your vehicle is stolen and not recovered, we will pay up to $150 per day up to a total of $3,000 so that you are able to hire a similar replacement vehicle.
Excess-free glass cover - when you choose our comprehensive policy, you will get excess-free glass cover. This means you won’t have to pay an excess if your claim is only for accidental damage to your windscreen or windows.
