LGV Insurance - Please Call 0800 907 8125

LGV or large goods vehicle is another name for HGV. LGV insurance policies are the same policy you get for your HGV. The reason for the name change is because many countries in Europe did not have a word for heavy. Although HGV is still commonly used through out the UK.

LGV insurance is available for fleets as well as individual vehicles. It can be cheaper to insure your fleet on the one policy instead of insuring each vehicle individually.

LGV Insurance Defined

LGV insurance is available for any vehicle that excides 7.5 tonnes in weight. The LGV insurance covers your vehicle whether it is used for transit of your own goods or for haulage.

LGV insurance follows the same principles as van insurance. There are the same three types of cover:

Third party

Is the minimum insurance cover you can buy. It is a basic cover that protects you against damage to a third party or death of any other party involved.

Third party fire and theft

This type of cover includes the same as the third policy but will also cover you from the risk of fire or theft involving your LGV. You can also take out content insurance at the same time with this policy.

Fully comprehensive

This cover is the most recommended type of cover as it covers you for all of the above, it also cover you for any accidental or malicious damage done to your LGV. You are also able to take out contents insurance on this policy but it does not come as standard and you must ask for it when asking for your LGV insurance quote.

Our insurance partners provide cover that can be restricted named drivers or any name driver. They also provide polices for individuals, or in the name of the company or organisation.

LGV insurance in essential but can some times feel like you are in a mine field as finding the right cover can take time.
