Types of insurance cover your transportation business may require

Transportation insurance can cover things that could potentially go wrong during transit, ranging from a variety of instances including theft, fire, accidents beyond control, and other similar perils. With every type of transportation, be it travelling on land, air, and sea, there is a spectrum of risks that require appropriate cover to ensure that your business can continue to meet client obligations and maintain your hard won reputation whilst maintaining the financial security of the business and you employees.

Insurance programmes for transportation businesses would typically include a combination of the following cover:

  • Fleet or vehicle insurance: Providing tailored cover for all the vehicles in your fleet, reflecting usage and typical goods or cargo
  • Goods in transit insurance: Provides cover for loss or damage to goods that you are transporting 
  • Public liability insurance: Tradesmen are likely to work near other people and their property. Public liability insurance for self-employed tradesman will help to ensure that you’re covered against potential claims, offering protection if your business activities kill or injure a third party (non-employee) or damage their property.
  • Employers’ liability insurance: This is a compulsory type of insurance for employers, regardless of whether the member of staff is permanent, temporary, volunteer, contractor or freelancer. The minimum level of protection is £5m, which will cover the cost of compensation claims if staff get injured or fall ill as a result of carrying out their required duties.
  • Professional indemnity insurance: If your work causes a problem for your client or you have given negligent advice, this will ensure that you are covered if your client makes a claim against you. Some clients also require construction businesses to have a certain level of cover in place before they start work on a project, so it is worth checking this before you start work.
  • Personal accident insurance: This type of cover will provide financial protection in the event of accidental injury or death as part of your work.
  • Business interruption insurance – Provides cover for financial losses if your business can’t operate from its premises as normal as a result of a fire, major theft or a flood.
  • Commercial buildings & contents insurance – Provides cover for your business premises in the event of flooding, a fire or theft.
  • Credit risk insurance – Provides cover in the event that your clients don’t pay their invoices.
  • Business assets and equipment insurance: Provides cover for the assets that your business needs to operate, including furniture and computers.

 

These are just examples of some of the types of transportation insurance policies that we look after at Business Line Insurance.
