Provides comprehensive coverage to protect against risks such as accidents, theft, and damages, ensuring the smooth operation of delivery services.
Courier Service businesses require insurance to shield against financial losses and liabilities linked to their operations, including risks like accidents, theft, and damages as they transport valuable goods and operate vehicles.
Business insurance helps mitigate various risks associated with the courier industry, ensuring financial protection and operational continuity.
Key business insurance cover types crucial for courier businesses in Australia typically include:
Protects against claims for property damage or injury to third parties caused by business operations.
Also known as Commercial Auto Insurance, this covers damage to vehicles used for business purposes, including delivery vans and trucks.
Provides coverage for the value of goods being transported against damage, theft, or loss during transit.
Protects against claims of negligence or errors in the services provided, particularly important if you offer specialised delivery services.
Mandatory in Australia, it covers claims made by employees for work-related injuries or illnesses.
Helps cover lost income and ongoing expenses if the business is unable to operate due to an insured event, such as a vehicle accident or natural disaster.
A courier driver is involved in a collision while making a delivery, resulting in damage to the company’s delivery van and injury to the driver. Business insurance covering commercial/business vehicle insurance and public liability would help cover the costs of repairing the vehicle and any medical expenses or liability claims arising from the accident.
A parcel containing valuable items is stolen from a courier’s vehicle while it’s parked for delivery. Goods in transit insurance would provide coverage for the value of the stolen items, protecting the courier business from financial losses associated with the theft.
While delivering a package, a courier accidentally trips over a customer’s doorstep and sustains an injury. Workers’ Compensation Insurance would cover the courier business against any legal claims or compensation demands from the injured employee, helping to cover medical expenses.
