There are more than 600,000 commercial vehicles in New Zealand, meaning a lot of drivers are on the road every day driving for work purposes.
Statistics show that around 30% of all accidents involve drivers driving for work and a recent study by the Department of Labour found that on average one in four work vehicles was involved in some kind of accident each year.
Don’t risk coming off the road
Picture this. One of your employees is on a delivery run in the company van when they are rear-ended by a vehicle causing them to crash into the car in front of them. The accident takes the van out of circulation which impacts on your productivity.
What is Commercial Motor Vehicle Insurance?
Designed to cover your employees should they end up in an accident, our fully tailored solutions cover what you need across all business vehicle classes, from cars, utes, and vans, to trucks, buses, and forklifts.
Your policy can be adjusted to insure each of your business vehicles individually with a combination of cover types and excess structures.
If you have a fleet of vehicles this insurance could be the best option for your business and includes extra benefits that will help your business stay on the road if you need to make a claim.
You can choose from three levels of cover:
- Comprehensive > cover for your vehicle if you or anyone else accidentally damages it
- Third Party, Fire & Theft > cover for your vehicle if it is damaged by fire, stolen, or you accidentally damage someone else’s property with your vehicle.
- Third Party > basic cover if you damage someone else’s property with your vehicle.
What does Commercial Motor Vehicle Insurance cover?
We provide cover against a number of risks involved in owning and driving a business vehicle, such as:
- Damage to property in an accident caused by your company vehicle
- Damage to your business vehicle in an accident
- Theft or vandalism of your company car
- Your company vehicle being involved in an accident caused by another driver who does not have adequate car insurance coverage.
Additional cover options include:

- If a company car is involved in an accident, with just one call we can take over from the crash scene and get your vehicle up and running again.
