What is Commercial Vehicle Insurance?
Our Commercial Motor Vehicle Insurance is designed to help your business cover the costs that may arise from events such as accidental damage to, or theft of, your business vehicles. This includes traditional cars, EVs, vans, utes, and light trucks.
Cover up to two vehicles online with your Public and Products Liability Insurance as part of a Business Insurance Pack, or call us if you need cover for up to 20 vehicles.
Helpful tip: Do you use your personal vehicle for business purposes? Your personal car insurance may not cover you for damage to third-party property – or your own vehicle – when used in relation to your business. Check your personal car policy to see if you’re covered.
You can cover up to 2 online or call us to insure up to 20 vehicles as part of a Business Insurance Pack or through standalone Commercial Motor Insurance.

Allianz Comprehensive Car Insurance is personal car insurance that can cover your vehicle for private use, with occasional and limited business use. Depending on the type of business use, Comprehensive Car Insurance may provide cover if you use the same car for both personal and business purposes. Note: we don’t offer cover for cars used for ride share or car share.
Commercial Vehicle Insurance is specifically designed to provide cover for vehicles used for business purposes. It generally provides broader coverage for commercial vehicles, such as for cars, trucks, forklifts, diggers, and trailers, that may not be typically included in a personal car insurance policy.

Commercial Vehicle cover is only available to buy under the Business Insurance Pack if you also buy Public and Products Liability Insurance or Commercial Property Insurance under the same policy.
