Commercial vehicle insurance in Leicester

Leicester's manufacturing and distribution base fills its roads with working vehicles — textile and food-trade deliveries, courier and logistics fleets, and the trades vans of a large, diverse Midlands city.

Where the risks come from for Leicester businesses

Multidrop delivery is the defining risk. Vans that stop dozens of times a day in busy streets are exposed to both frequent low-speed collisions and theft from the load each time a driver steps away, and the goods carried often matter more than the vehicle.

A Leicester example

A Leicester distributor had stock taken from a multidrop van during a delivery round, a loss the vehicle's value could never have covered. Goods-in-transit cover, set to the round's real load and with the security terms met, was what made it good.

What commercial vehicle insurance covers

Beyond the vehicle and its liability, the cover that earns its place here is goods in transit — rated to the load — with multidrop and any-driver terms and hire cover to keep deliveries moving after a loss.
