What is courier van insurance?
Courier van insurance is van cover written on a hire and reward basis. It covers you when you’re paid to deliver goods that belong to someone else, and without it your insurer can refuse a claim if something goes wrong.
“Many courier contracts won’t let you start work until you can prove you hold hire and reward, goods in transit and public liability cover.”
You’re likely to need courier van insurance if:
You’re paid to deliver goods belonging to othersYou make frequent local or multi-drop deliveriesYou drive for a courier platform or delivery companyYou need proof of cover before starting a contractYou’re a self-employed or owner-driver courierYour journeys are mostly local, not long-haulYou cover high mileage on daily delivery roundsYou keep parcels in the van overnight
