Temporary Courier Insurance FAQs

What does courier insurance mean?

Courier insurance means your vehicle is insured for carrying out couriering services. Also known as hire and reward insurance, courier insurance allows you to make deliveries, parcels and food alike. The fully comprehensive courier insurance we offer means your vehicle and the goods you are delivering are fully protected whilst you are out making deliveries.

Is hire and reward insurance the same as courier insurance?

Yes, courier insurance is the same as hire and reward insurance. It is a type of cover for people who are using their vehicles to make deliveries, carrying parcels and making multiple delivery stop-offs throughout their day.

Will courier insurance protect the goods I am carrying?

No. Our policies which include cover for the carriage of goods for hire and reward do not include cover for the goods that you are carrying. With these policies you are insured to use the vehicle to carry goods for hire and reward, such as for food or parcel deliveries, but the items that you’re carrying are not covered by the policy.
