Benefits of courier-specific breakdown cover
While standard business breakdown cover can be helpful, courier-specific breakdown cover offers additional features tailored to your business needs:
-
Faster Response Times
- As a courier, you often operate on tight schedules. We understand this and further prioritise fast response times to minimise your downtime as much as possible.
-
Recovery for Heavier Loads
- Courier vans often carry heavier loads than standard vans. Our courier van breakdown cover ensures recovery services are equipped to handle the weight and size of your vehicle.
-
Cover for Specialised Vans
- For refrigerated vans or those with specialised equipment, we can make special arrangements that offer optional cover for these specialised vehicle additions in the case of a breakdown.
