Factors Affecting Tipper Truck Insurance Premium

Here are some important factors that affect tipper insurance price:

Model, Engine & Make of the Tipper

The model, make and engine has a big role to play in determining the right tipper truck insurance price! Similarly, heavy weighing tippers generally fetch higher premium.

Vehicle Usage

The type of tipper and its usage (e.g., for construction, transportation) can impact the tipper insurance premium. Higher usage and riskier operations often lead to higher premiums.

No Claim Bonus (NCB)

If you haven't made any claims in the previous policy period, you can benefit from a discount on your premium in the form of No Claim Bonus, thus, reducing the insurance price for the next policy year.

Insured Declared Value (IDV)

The IDV of your commercial vehicle, which represents its current market value, also impacts the premium. A higher IDV leads to a higher premium.

Location

The area where the vehicle operates also influences its premium. High-risk areas with higher crime rates or accident frequencies can lead to higher premiums.

Coverage Type

The type of insurance coverage you choose (comprehensive, third-party, etc.) also affects the premium price, as a comprehensive plan usually costs more than a third-party plan because it offers broader protection.
