Haulage Insurance - Cutting the Costs to get the Best Rates

    SURREY, ENGLAND, May 22, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- These are tough days for businesses in general, so there's no better time for companies to look at reducing their operating costs. In particular, haulage companies can focus on ways they can reduce their haulage insurance premiums - this doesn't just mean shopping around for the most competitive haulage insurance cover, but also taking action that will enable haulage insurance companies to offer the most competitive haulage insurance premiums.

Commerical Plan Insurance has a specialist haulage insurance department, enabling its customers to benefit from its 35 years of experience and expertise. Its Sales Team Leader, Sophie Reeve, says that there are many ways in which customers can reduce haulage insurance overheads. "One such way is for companies to keep haulage insurance premiums down when carrying high-value loads as well as high-risk ones," she says. "If, for example, the value of a firm's average load is around GBP200,000, operators can off-set some of the haulage insurance costs by agreeing to cover some of the risks themselves." So a company covering the first GBP10,000 of a haulage insurance claim for GBP60,000 should see savings on their haulage insurance. "This arrangement appeals to many insurers," says Sophie, "because they can see that you haven't tried to pass on all the risk to the haulage insurance company."

Haulage Insurance companies also offer reduced haulage insurance premiums when firms restrict the proportion of high-value goods on each load. Sophie says: "Some haulage firms agree a 25% to 50% limit on items prone to attracting thieves, such as sprits or perfume. This enables some haulage insurance companies to offer reduced haulage insurance premiums." As a market leader in providing haulage insurance, Commercial Plan Insurance are always happy to discuss ways in which customers can reduce their haulage insurance premiums. "We pride ourselves on offering a bespoke service to our clients," says Sophie. "And this means discussing in detail the needs of their business, and offering them the best quality haulage insurance cover at the most competitive rates."

So, in the current climate, keeping overheads down is certainly a priority, but making sure you have suitable haulage insurance cover that will offer you protection against all risks is essential. "A good quality haulage insurance policy will offer employer's and public liability cover, protected no-claims bonus options and legal expense cover," says Sophie. "At Commercial Plan Insurance, we are able to offer all of these benefits to our customers to give them the best quality haulage insurance cover available, and to ensure their peace-of-mind."
