What is removal insurance?

Removal insurance is designed to cover removal companies while they execute their duties. Removal companies are typically busy all-year-round: after all, thousands of businesses move premises, and thousands of people move home, on a weekly basis. Removal insurance is designed to cover any accidents, issues or injuries sustained while operating such a service. It’s important to have the right policy in place, as your removal business could find itself out of pocket if a claim-worthy situation arises.

When looking for removal insurance, you should consider the size of your business and the number of vehicles you currently have in operation. The last thing you want to do is underinsure your fleet, but you’ll also want to be cautious of over-insuring and not getting the value for money that you deserve. To keep insurance costs down, it’s good practice to only employ experienced drivers who do not hold any convictions.


Who needs removal insurance?

Any business that operates a removals/delivery fleet will need removal insurance to cover every eventuality. The removals trade comes with its own unique set of risks, which means that removal firms should give plenty of thought to the sort of policy they require.

If you operate a removals service, you’ll be fully aware of how integral your vehicles are to the successful running of your business. When you choose the right removal insurance policy, you’re protecting your livelihood.

By law, all removal companies need commercial van insurance to protect other road users. In addition to this, removals companies will want to consider goods in transit/storage insurance. After all, the last thing your business needs is to deal with after the stress of damaging a customer’s valued possessions is to be hit with a claim for compensation.


What does removal insurance cover?

The size of your removal company will ultimately dictate what sort of removal insurance policy you choose. To begin with, most removal companies will want fleet insurance. This covers vehicles on the road.

Removal companies obviously make their money by carefully transporting the valued possessions of their customers. Goods in transit insurance is vital to cover the cost of repairs or replacement items in the event of anything untoward happening during transit. If your company has the same drivers operating the same vehicle every day, named driver cover could be beneficial, as it helps to reduce the cost of your premium. If you have drivers on a temporary or ad-hoc basis, you will need “any driver” cover, which covers your vehicles regardless of who is driving them.

If your removal company employs people, even on a part-time or casual basis, you will need employers' liability insurance as part of your policy. Employers' liability insurance is required by law and covers your company against claims for compensation made by employees who have become injured on the job.
