What is the difference if any between haulage and courier cover

Both have similarities, but they are also different. Both have one common feature they both include cover for ‘ carriage of goods for hire and reward'. A premium is derived based on risk to the broker of having to payout and the average payout amount. As risk can be greater for haulage the underwriters differentiate these 2 modes of carriage as different and policies are constructed to reflect the difference.

The key difference is that haulage is associated with the movement of a consignment from A to B , the consignment most often is white goods or dry goods, but can also be livestock.
Couriers tend to provide a delivery service of various items and one journey typically will involve many drop offs or deliveries at different locations.
Couriers tend to use faster and cheaper delivery modes that include cars, vans , motorcycles or push bikes.
As haulier usually equates to the bulk movement of goods, hauliers will most likely be using heavy good vehicles in contrast to small vans typical of a courier service

In summary if you are being paid for the delivery of other people's good on a multi drop basis then you should purchase insurance for couriers. The converse is true of haulage cover which will involve moving bulk goods from origin to destination. Multi drop is normally accepted to be 3 or more different drop locations per day.

What does courier insurance cost?

The cost of cover depends on a multitude of factors some of which you do have control over. One of these is which insurance category the actual vehicle that you use falls into.

These categories normally range from 1 to 20, category 1 contains vehicles that are in general the cheapest to insure. The main factors that are used to determine which group are as follows:

The purchase price and the price of spare parts.
The size, the bigger the more cargo that will need covered.
The average costs to repair

GIT : Cover for the goods in haulage

In addition to the courier insurance for your mode of transport you will also require cover for goods in transit and public liability. GIT will protect your merchandise whilst in transit, some level of GIT cover may be already included in your courier policy, but it most likely not be sufficient.. Make it clear to the broker the types of service or services that you intend to provide.
