Commercial Vehicle Insurance
At CIA Insurance, we recognise the crucial role your commercial vehicles play in your daily operations. That’s why we’re committed to providing robust insurance options tailored to meet the unique needs of your business. Whether you operate delivery vans, large trucks, or have a diverse set of vehicles, CIA Insurance ensures they’re protected under all circumstances.
What is Commercial Vehicle Insurance?
Commercial vehicle insurance is a specialised motor insurance tailored for vehicles used in your business operations.
Unlike standard car insurance, commercial policies address the increased risks that your business vehicles may face. They provide comprehensive protection, covering damages or injuries to third parties and ensuring quick repair or replacement of your insured vehicle to minimise business disruption.
Commercial vehicle insurance encompasses various policies suited to different commercial uses and vehicle types, including vans, trucks, and heavy goods vehicles (HGVs). Our tailored plans may also cater to the particular needs of your business.
Having commercial vehicle insurance ensures the operational success of your business, whilst making sure that your vehicles are protected.
What does Commercial Vehicle Insurance cover?
Our commercial vehicle insurance provides coverage for vehicles used for business purposes. It offers protection against various risks associated with operating business vehicles and typically includes the following coverages:
- Liability insurance: This is fundamental coverage that protects against legal liability for bodily injuries or property damage caused to others by your business vehicles.
- Collision coverage: This pays for damage to your vehicle resulting from a collision with another vehicle or object, regardless of who is at fault.
- Comprehensive coverage: This covers damage to your vehicle from non-collision-related incidents such as theft, vandalism, fire, natural disasters, and hitting an animal.
- Medical payments/personal injury protection (PIP): This coverage pays for medical expenses for the driver and passengers in your vehicle in the event of an accident, regardless of fault.
- Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage: This provides protection if your vehicle is involved in an accident with another driver who either does not have insurance or whose insurance is insufficient to cover the damages.
- Roadside assistance: Offers help for roadside issues like flat tires, dead batteries, towing, and other similar roadside emergencies.
- Cargo coverage: If your business involves transporting goods, this coverage protects against the loss or damage of the cargo.
- Non-owned vehicle coverage: This is crucial if employees use their personal vehicles for business purposes. It extends liability protection to these vehicles when used for your business activities.
Commercial vehicle insurance is tailored to meet the diverse needs of your businesses, ensuring the continuous operation and financial protection against common road-related risks.
What isn’t covered?
There are certain risks that won’t be covered by commercial vehicle insurance, including:
- Intentional damage
- Normal wear and tear
- Using vehicles for non-approved purposes
- Drivers not listed on the policy
- Environmental damage

Motor Fleet Insurance
If your business utilises multiple vehicles, consider the benefits of our specialist motor fleet insurance policy.

For larger operations, our business fleet insurance can cover an unlimited number of vehicles, ensuring that all your business needs are met under one policy.
Our business fleet insurance rates vary based on the types of vehicles covered. Typically, drivers over the age of 25 are eligible, but we are also equipped to offer policies that include younger drivers and cover high-risk vehicles when necessary.
