“The claims experience was made so easy.” – Scott B., Google review
Real reviews from couriers and businesses we've insured across Australia.
“Ben has been absolutely outstanding to work with. He saved Goulburn Transport a substantial amount of money, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. His professionalism, knowledge, and can-do attitude were first class from start to finish. Ben went above and beyond, made the whole process simple, and delivered real value for our business.”
“My agent was Raymond, very good at explaining everything you need to know. If you're a courier like me, use this insurance company.”
“I had an excellent experience with Shielded Insurance Brokers, and especially with Dan who looked after my claim. The entire process was handled with professionalism, patience, and clear communication from start to finish… His support genuinely made a stressful situation much easier to manage, and thanks to his help my business was able to keep running without interruption.”
“Was looking around for insurance as a courier driver. 100% recommend these guys, helped in every way!”
“We as a business have entrusted Shielded insurance brokers for many years & will continue to do so. Their knowledge & expertise is exceptional & they go the extra mile no matter what. Great team, great service & always chasing the best deal!”
“We have been insured with Shielded for the last year and unfortunately had a break and enter and lost very valuable equipment. Alex Shipman and all the team at Shielded were excellent to deal with and managed my claim and had everything finalised fast. I’ve never had to make a claim like this and only ever heard bad stories so I assumed this was going to drag out for 6-9 months but I’d say we barely made it over 6 weeks. Very happy.”
“I had quotes from previous brokers and the pricing was outrageous. Kharn was my contact at Shielded. He was a legend. Did the work. Got multiple quotes fast, he was on the phone ringing me about any additional questions the insurance companies required from our company so he could get the quotes completed promptly. Highly recommend.”
“The service was professional, responsive, and efficient throughout my recent insurance claim. They took much of the stress and hard work off my shoulders, guided me through the process, and helped achieve a quick resolution. Communication was excellent, and I always felt supported and informed.”
“Have had a long and stressful challenge dealing with my insurer however it turns out that my insurance broker actually provides the help! Worth going through a broker that really knows their stuff.”
“Tim Cantwell from the very first conversation has been a pleasure to deal with! Knows his stuff, responds instantly and is always available. First class customer service!!! A++ Thanks Tim!!!!”

We're all about courier insurance. Here are the questions we get asked most.
Courier insurance typically combines liability cover, cargo (goods in transit) cover, comprehensive or third party motor cover for your vehicle, and personal accident insurance. We tailor the mix to how you work – whether you run one van or a fleet.
Factors that affect your premium include the type of vehicle you drive, your driving record, the type and amount of cover you choose, and the excess (also known as a deductible) you select.
You can lower your courier insurance premium by increasing your excess, maintaining a good driving record, and shopping around for the best rate. Using us as your insurance broker means we do the shopping around for you.
Contact your insurance broker and/or insurer right away. If you're insured through us, call Shielded Insurance on 1800 97 98 99 – you can notify a claim 24/7 and our claims team will guide you through it.
