Trucking insurance guide

Truck Insurance for Every Type of Transport Operation

Trucking insurance is not one product. The right cover depends on what you drive, what you carry, how far you travel and how many vehicles you run. Suretrust is an independent broker, so we look at your operation first and then compare suitable truck insurance options from the insurers we work with, for transport businesses anywhere in South Africa.

Owner-driver truck insurance

For operators with one or two trucks, including 4-ton, 5-ton, 8-ton and 10-ton rigids. Cover can include accident damage, theft, hijacking, fire and third-party liability, with options for the goods you carry.

Fleet insurance for transport companies

Several trucks, trailers and support vehicles under one policy, with one renewal date and consistent cover across the fleet. Read how fleet insurance works for trucking companies.

Horse-and-trailer and long-haul trucks

Truck tractors, tri-axle trailers, interlinks and superlinks travelling long distances need cover that reflects their routes, overnight parking, values and the risk of hijacking on the road.

Specialised trucks

Tippers, tankers, refrigerated trucks, flatbeds, car carriers and cranes each carry their own risks, such as refrigeration breakdown or load spillage. These need to be declared correctly so the policy fits how the truck is used.

Goods in transit and cargo cover

Insuring the truck does not insure the load. Goods in transit cover can protect the goods you carry against accident, theft and hijacking. See what goods in transit insurance covers.

Liability cover for transporters

Third-party liability, public liability and carrier’s liability help protect your business if your truck, driver or load causes damage or injury to other people or their property.

What Affects the Cost of Truck Insurance?

Insurers price each truck and fleet on its own risk profile. The main factors are the type, age and value of each truck and trailer; what you carry and its value per load; your routes, distances and where vehicles park overnight; tracking and security; driver experience and licence history; and your claims record. Accurate information up front helps avoid gaps in cover and problems at claim stage.

Frequently asked

Truck Insurance South Africa: Common Questions

How much does truck insurance cost in South Africa?

There is no single price. Premiums depend on the vehicles and trailers insured, their values and use, the routes travelled, the goods carried, driver experience, claims history, security measures and the excesses you choose. Suretrust can obtain quotes based on your own operation and explain what drives the difference between them.

What does fleet insurance usually cover?

Fleet insurance generally covers a group of vehicles under one policy rather than each vehicle separately. Depending on the insurer and policy wording it may include accidental damage, theft and hijacking, fire, third-party liability, and cover for trailers. Goods in transit and carrier’s liability are usually arranged alongside it rather than included automatically.

How many vehicles make a fleet?

Insurers differ. Some treat two or three vehicles as a fleet, others set the threshold higher. It is worth asking, because fleet-rated cover can be simpler to administer and priced differently from individual policies.

Do I need goods in transit cover if the goods belong to my client?

Often yes. Carrying goods for someone else can create a liability if they are damaged, lost or stolen in transit, and that liability is not automatically covered by a vehicle policy. Goods in transit and carrier’s liability cover address different parts of that risk, so it is worth discussing which applies to your contracts.

Can Suretrust arrange truck insurance outside Bloemfontein?

Yes. Suretrust is based in Bainsvlei, Bloemfontein and assists transport and logistics clients across South Africa. Cover is not limited to the Free State.

What information do you need to quote?

Typically a vehicle and trailer schedule with values, details of the goods carried and routes travelled, driver information, your claims history, and your current policy schedule if you have one. The more accurate the information, the more reliable the quote.

This information is general and does not replace advice based on your own needs. Cover is subject to the insurer’s policy wording, schedule, terms, conditions, limits and exclusions.
