FAQ

Commercial vehicle insurance questions

Do I need commercial vehicle insurance if I use my car for e-hailing?

Yes. Personal car insurance typically excludes business use. Using your vehicle for e-hailing or delivery without declaring it to your insurer risks claim rejection. Commercial cover protects you and covers passenger or goods liability.

Can I insure multiple vehicles under one policy?

Yes, fleet policies allow you to insure multiple business vehicles under a single policy. This simplifies administration and often provides better rates than insuring each vehicle separately. Terms depend on fleet size and vehicle types.

What factors affect commercial vehicle insurance rates?

Premiums depend on vehicle type, age, usage (kilometres, routes), driver experience, claims history, and cover type. Compare quotes from different insurers to find competitive rates for your specific business needs and risk profile.
