Same-Day Coverage, Your Way
What is Bus Insurance
Bus insurance is essential for anyone operating a passenger transport business. Whether you run a single charter coach or manage a fleet of school buses, the right cover protects your vehicles, passengers, and bottom line. Bus insurance can include liability cover, protection against third-party injuries or property damage, and cover for accidental loss or damage to your buses.
It’s more than just a legal requirement—it’s about peace of mind. Bus operators face daily risks on Australian roads, from accidents and vandalism to mechanical damage and natural disasters. With comprehensive bus insurance in place, you’re protected from unexpected costs that could otherwise disrupt your operations or lead to significant financial losses.

Bus insurance typically covers accidental damage, third-party injury or property damage, fire, theft, and more. You can also add extras like passenger liability, loss of income, or driver personal accident cover.
