Before coming over to iinsure I had numerous policies for my electrical business with different brokers and insurers. A friend recommended iinsure to me, and I’m so happy that I gave them a call. iinsure provided me with great advice and service and competitive prices for my public liability, tools, commercial motor and personal accident policies. It’s so much easier now to have my policies in one place as the renewals are all due at the same time. This saves me lots of time with my administration and more time to do my electrical work for clients.

FAQ’s

What is Commercial Motor Insurance?

Commercial motor insurance is all about keeping your business vehicles protected. Whether you’re running cars, vans, or trucks for work, this type of policy covers you and your employer when they’re out on the road. Think of it as a safety net that keeps your operations moving smoothly, protecting you from unexpected costs if something goes wrong.

What types of Commercial Motors can be covered?

Commercial Motors that can be covered include a wide range of business vehicles from sedans, utes, vans, and trucks to specialised equipment like forklifts, excavators, and trailers, and there’s a policy that fits your fleet. Our brokers will suggest Insurance that is tailored to match how you use your vehicles in commercial activities, whether it’s deliveries, site visits, or transporting goods. The key is making sure each vehicle is insured for its specific role in your business.

What is covered under Commercial Motor Insurance?

Commercial Motor Insurance has you covered in most scenarios. It protects against financial losses from accidental damage, theft, or liability if a third party is injured or their property is damaged while you’re on the job.

Policies are often more flexible than personal car insurance, as you can include multiple vehicles, tools, and even goods in transit. Many comprehensive policies also include benefits like emergency repairs, towing, personal effects cover, and new vehicle replacement if yours is written off.

Our brokers will explore what policy is right for you for a wide range of vehicles, including cars, vans, trucks, and specialised equipment.

What are the standard exclusions of Commercial Motor Insurance?

While Commercial Motor insurance is broad, there are a few things it usually doesn’t cover. Standard exclusions often include driver under the influence (DUI), unlicensed or unauthorised drivers, racing or reckless driving, wear and tear, mechanical breakdown, property in the vehicle, intentional or deliberate damage and terrorism or war-related incidents.

What is the claims process for Commercial Motor Insurance?

Making a claim with iinsure for Commercial Motor insurance is usually straightforward. When challenges arise, knowing how to navigate the claims process efficiently can significantly impact your business’s recovery time.

  • Immediate notification of the loss event
  • Documentation of damage (photos, videos, inventory lists)
  • Formal claim submission with supporting documentation
  • Claims assessment to ensure your claim is processed efficiently
  • Settlement and/or repairs to get you back on the road quickly

The iinsure in-house claims team works directly with insurers on your behalf on all negotiations and follow-up communications. This advocacy ensures you receive fair treatment and appropriate compensation under your policy terms.

What are the benefits of using a broker?

When it comes to protecting your business, working with a broker like iinsure provides significant advantages that you simply cannot access when dealing directly with insurance companies.

Access to Extensive Insurer Networks

One of the most compelling reasons to use a broker is market access. iinsure provides access to over 150 insurers through their Steadfast Network advantage, giving you unparalleled market access and negotiating power.

Expert Guidance and Tailored Solutions

Insurance needs vary dramatically between businesses, and a broker’s expertise becomes invaluable in navigating these complexities: Brokers help assess your income replacement needs, occupation-specific risks, and budget constraints to find policies that fit your specific situation without overextending financially.

Independent Advice

As an independent broker, our loyalty lies with you, not insurance companies. This means objective advice and representation of your interests when selecting policies and managing claims.

Ongoing Support

Unlike direct purchases, brokers provide continuous policy reviews and support as your business evolves, ensuring your coverage remains appropriate across all three insurance types.
