How Much Does Truck Insurance Cost?*
If you own a truck for business, no matter where in Australia you operate or the size of your vehicle, having suitable truck insurance is vital for protecting your business and income. The cost of truck insurance will vary depending on the type and value of the truck you operate, your business and claims history, and the coverage required.
A comprehensive truck insurance policy, for example, may cover theft, accidents, and other damage to your vehicle and will cost you more than third-party insurance which may only cover you for damage caused by your truck to others.
In general, the following factors will impact the cost of your truck insurance:
- The size, type, and value of your truck
- Where your truck is located
- The type and amount of insurance coverage you require
- Your previous claims history (both for the company as a whole and by individual drivers)
- Whether you are insuring a single truck or a fleet (discounts may be available when insuring a fleet of trucks)
- Any additional coverage (such as for trailers and other equipment installed on the vehicle) you require

Why Should I use a Broker to get Truck insurance for my Business?*
Getting suitable truck insurance for your business at an affordable price can be challenging. There are many insurance providers out there that offer a wide range of policies that vary in price, features, and overall coverage they offer. An insurance broker can help you to assess different policies and help you to choose a suitable policy for your circumstances.
Insurance brokers may have expert knowledge of the truck insurance market which means they may be able to access policies not available from direct insurers and they may have the ability to compare the terms of the different policies available.
An important benefit they may provide for you is that they do not work for a particular insurance company. Instead, they work for you as an impartial advisor that assesses many different truck insurance providers and policies to help you get a suitable and affordable policy for your circumstances.
An added benefit is that an insurance broker may not result in any additional cost to you as they shop around the market for you and are paid a commission by the insurance company once you choose a policy.
With a good insurance broker, you get guidance about the benefits and pitfalls of different insurance policies because they are not beholden to any given provider.
An insurance broker may be able to negotiate lower rates for you by finding a suitable policy from competing insurance products and because sometimes they have access to policies and discounts only available to brokers. They may also use their knowledge to conduct negotiations with insurance companies on your behalf to ensure you get as favourable a price possible.
A good insurance broker should talk to you get an understanding of how your business operates and understand the risks you face.
An insurance broker helps you find a suitable and affordable insurance policy and acts as a single point of contact for your insurance needs – including helping you if you need to make a claim.
