Same-Day Coverage, Your Way

What is Tow Truck Insurance

Tow truck insurance is designed for businesses involved in vehicle recovery, roadside assistance, or transporting disabled vehicles. Whether you’re operating a single tilt tray or a fleet of heavy wreckers, this type of cover addresses the risks associated with towing operations—such as on-road accidents, property damage, or damage to vehicles being towed.

The nature of towing work can expose your business to unique liabilities. Depending on the structure of your policy, cover may extend to third-party liability, damage to your truck, or loss or damage to customer vehicles in transit. Identifying the specific risks your business faces can help in selecting appropriate insurance.

Tow truck operators often work in high-pressure situations and varied environments—from busy highways to accident scenes—so it’s important to consider cover that suits these conditions. Insurance can also assist with managing business interruptions if your vehicle is taken off the road due to an insured event.

Policy options may include cover for vehicle damage, public liability, on-hook cover, and downtime. The right arrangement will depend on the size of your operation and the services you offer.

How Tow Truck Insurance Pricing Works

Tow truck insurance premiums are calculated based on several factors to ensure your coverage matches your vehicle, drivers, and how it’s used.

Tow Truck Type & Value

View More
The make, model, age, and replacement value of your tow truck all affect premiums. Newer, higher-value, or specialised tow trucks may cost more to insure due to higher repair or replacement expenses.

Driver History

View More
Insurers review the driving records of all listed drivers. A clean history with few claims or traffic offences can help lower premiums, while previous accidents, violations, or limited experience may increase costs.

Usage & Distance Travelled

View More
How often your tow truck is on the road and the distances it covers matters. Trucks used daily, for long distances, or in higher-risk areas may attract higher premiums.

Location & Storage

View More
Where your tow truck is stored or parked affects pricing. Secure storage such as garages, depots, or locked yards can help reduce risk, while vehicles in higher-risk areas may cost more to insure.

Claims History

View More
Your past claims record is an important risk indicator. Fewer or lower-value claims can reduce premiums, while frequent or costly claims may increase them.

Type of Loads Towed

View More
The type of vehicles or items your tow truck transports also impacts pricing. Towing high-value, fragile, or hazardous vehicles can increase premiums compared to standard towing operations.
