Contributory Negligences

Any damages or losses caused to the heavy-duty vehicle due to contributory negligence won’t be covered for. For example, if there are existing floods in the city, and one still takes the tractor out. 

Consequential Damages

Any damages or losses that aren’t a direct result of an accident, natural calamity or fire can’t be covered for.

Types of Trailer Insurance Coverages

Based on the type of heavy-duty vehicle and number of vehicles you want to insure; we offer two primary plans you can choose from.

1. Comprehensive or Standard Package Plan

Comprehensive commercial vehicle insurance for trailer covers your own commercial vehicle against damage or loss in an unfortunate accident. It also covers damage, loss, or injury to third parties caused due to your trailer. Therefore, with a trailer comprehensive plan you are financially protected against injuries, damage, natural disasters, and theft. 

You can further enhance your insurance coverage with this plan by opting for suitable add-ons available with CV insurance.

2. Third-Party or Liability Only Plan

Third-party liability only commercial vehicle insurance for trailers protects your vehicle only against damage, loss or injury to third-party property or person due to your vehicle. It is mandatory to have at least a third-party insurance policy in India. 

Also, IRDAI fixes the trailer third-party insurance price and no add-ons are available with this plan.
