What is a Heavy Vehicle Insurance?

A heavy vehicle insurance is a type of a commercial vehicle insurance policy specifically for the purpose of covering for heavy duty vehicles such as bulldozers, cranes, lorries, trailers, etc. A basic, third-party heavy vehicle insurance covers for any damages and losses caused to a third-party due to the vehicle, whereas a comprehensive heavy vehicle insurance would also help cover for own damages along with additional covers for maximum protection.

If you’re only going to go for a Third-Party Commercial Insurance for your commercial vehicle, then own damages and losses won’t be covered. 

Drunk Driving, or Driving Without a valid License

If during a claim, the driver-owner is found to be driving the insured vehicle without a valid driver’s license or under the influence of alcohol then the claim can’t be approved.

Any damages or losses caused to the heavy-duty vehicle due to contributory negligence won’t be covered for. For example, if there are existing floods in the city, and one still takes the tractor out. 

Consequential Damages

Any damages or losses that aren’t a direct result of an accident, natural calamity or fire can’t be covered for.
