Exactly how much each operator must pay varies from insurer to insurer and depends on a variety of factors. These may include:
A tipper or concrete mixer truck operator running up to five vehicles will usually see their trucks rated individually. Above that number of vehicles, policies tend to be fleet-rated with the premium dependent on past claims experience across your truck fleet.
When choosing a tipper or concrete mixer truck insurance policy, it’s important not to just buy on price, albeit price is always an important consideration. Look closely at other things too like:
If you prefer to spread the cost of your annual premium, we offer a quick and easy direct debit scheme.
When you choose to pay premiums in instalments, you will be paying under a Premium Finance plan. We will give you full details of the finance provider, and the additional cost of finance, when we provide you with your payment plan quotation. This will include the total payable, the number of monthly instalments and the cost of each, as well as the representative APR.
‘Comprehensive’ tipper insurance policies do much more than simply provide you with protection again loss or damage to your vehicles. They provide unlimited cover for third-party injury or death and cover for damage to third-party property. If your vehicles are articulated, cover is available for trailers as well as tractor units.
If you have an employee, or employees, even if only occasionally, or temporarily, then you are legally required to have employers' liability insurance. (Unless an exemption applies, such as family businesses where every employee is a close family member, providing they are not incorporated as a limited company.)
We can offer employers’ liability cover alongside your tipper insurance policy and the other essential non-motor business insurance covers.
