If you run a business that requires you or your employees to drive, you are legally obliged to carry commercial vehicle insurance. Whether your line of work involves driving a taxi, minibus, HGV, truck, lorry or van, everyone who drives them for business purposes will need to be covered. The type of policy your business needs will vary depending on the nature of use and who is driving the vehicles.

What is Commercial Vehicle Insurance?
Commercial vehicle insurance is the term that is used to describe all of the different types of insurance required to cover different vehicles driven as part of any business. If your business involves deliveries of any kind, moving products to different places, requires your staff to carry passengers in your vehicles, or driving customers and staff, you will require commercial vehicle insurance cover.
The type of policy you require will depend on what your vehicles are used for, but cover is available in three levels which are third-party only, third-party, fire and theft, or comprehensive. Commercial vehicle insurance protects the people who drive the vehicle as well as those who come in contact with it such as passengers or members of the public.
Do I Need Insurance For A Commercial Vehicle?
It is a legal requirement to have commercial insurance for any vehicles driven on the public highway. If this type of policy isn’t in place and commercial vehicles are driven, the person behind the wheel is classed as an uninsured driver.
The penalties for uninsured driving are significant.
So, if a vehicle is owned by a business and driven as part of it, there needs to be an appropriate commercial vehicle insurance policy in place, no matter how infrequently it is used.
If you require your employees to drive their own vehicle as part of your business, you must ensure that firstly, they have insurance to drive the vehicle, and secondly, that it covers them to drive as part of their work.
