44 Tonne HGV Insurance

If you own and operate a 44 tonne truck, you will probably be aware how high some of the running costs can be. Generally, a 44 tonne truck will be pulling a trailer which would normally be a 3 axel curtainsider or flat bed.

Curtainsiders are generally used in the movement of pallets. This allows the trailer to be loaded from both sides, or it can be reversed to a hub, and the pallets loaded at the rear. Flat bed trailers are generally used in the movement of engineering materials such as steel or aluminium. These products do not really need to be enclosed and can be out in the elements. They are generally secured to the trailer via straps and can often be craned on and off to the back of a vehicle. Operating this kind of vehicle may involve using different types of trailer and this might be intermingled with a fridge, a flat, or a curtainsider.

Over and above fire, theft and damage to other vehicles and property, your comprehensive HGV insurance policy will cover you for the repair of your vehicle. Also included are any towing costs, return of your HGV after it has been stolen, changing locks and replacing keys. For an additional nominal fee, we can also include public liability protection, breakdown cover, hazardous goods cover, European driving cover, and legal expenses cover. You may also specify cover for any trailers, even when they are not attached to your HGV and are stored in your depot.

A Nova Insurance Third-Party HGV policy will cover you for fire and theft. In addition, you will have cover if you damage another vehicle or it is written off. It also covers damage to property, any injuries to others involved in the accident, and damage as a result of theft.

Nova Insurance fully understand that you depend on your HGV for your livelihood and, as such, our policies cover this as far as possible. We offer two kinds of HGV insurance: third-party, fire and theft and comprehensive.

As with all types of insurance, the amount you pay for your HGV insurance will depend on a variety of factors.
The easiest way to determine your HGV insurance premium is to visit our website and obtain a quick quote for HGV insurance. Your HGV insurance premium will be influenced by how often your vehicle is outside the UK, the type of business it operates in, and whether it has a telematics device. If your HGV is usually parked in a secure facility when not on the road, this can help to reduce your premium. Other excellent ways to decrease your HGV insurance premium include obtaining an advanced driver qualification and increasing your voluntary excess amount.

Yes, regardless of how heavy your lorry is, we will be able to find you a hgv broker that covers that and more.

HGV insurance is designed to deal with HGV’s, also known as Large Goods Vehicles. This type of insurance is similar to van insurance in many ways, it covers damage caused by the vehicle to others and can be scaled up to cover accidental damage to the truck and theft cover. In addition you can purchase goods in transit insurance to cover the contents you are carrying in the vehicle.

At Nova Insurance we work alongside a variety of insurers who may be able to offer you a suitable level of cover which includes carriage of hazardous goods or coverage for visiting hazardous sites.

You will need an operators’ licence to carry goods connected with any business or trade, if your vehicle is over 3.5 tonnes, however certain exemptions apply. For further information regarding exemptions you can visit the Gov.uk website here.

Most heavy goods vehicles are used solely for haulage or delivery purposes but we understand that not everyone’s requirements are the same. Nova Insurance will search a panel of insurers and underwriters to find you the most competitive premium based on your use and can often include the use of the vehicle.
