Hyundai trucks often have a lower purchase price than equivalent Isuzu or Hino models, which can translate to lower premiums due to a reduced sum insured. However, the smaller dealer network may affect repair timelines, which some insurers factor into pricing. Comparing quotes from multiple insurers through Shielded is the best way to determine the most competitive option.

Only if the body value is included in the sum insured. Hyundai trucks are sold as cab-chassis and fitted with bodies that can cost as much as the base truck. Declare the full replacement value of the body, fitout and accessories when taking out your policy.

Yes, in most cases. Standard motor vehicle insurance covers the truck but not the goods being transported. A separate goods in transit policy protects freight against loss, damage or theft. If you carry other people's goods as a freight operator, cargo cover is usually a contractual requirement.

Yes. Fleet policies are available for businesses running multiple Hyundai trucks or a mixed fleet of different brands. Fleet cover offers simplified administration, consistent renewal dates and potentially better per-vehicle rates. Shielded compares fleet options from insurers including NTI, Zurich, CGU and QBE.

Yes. Commercial motor policies cover authorised drivers of the insured vehicle, including employees. However, you should declare all regular drivers to your insurer, as drivers under 25 or with limited experience may attract additional excesses. Ensure your drivers hold the correct licence class for the vehicle's GVM.

Shielded Insurance compares quotes from specialist transport and commercial motor insurers including Zurich, NTI, CGU, Allianz, QBE, Vero and Hollard. The best insurer for your situation depends on your vehicle model, body type, goods carried and operating profile.

In Australia, truck insurance typically includes comprehensive motor cover (accidental damage, fire, theft and weather), third party property damage, public liability, cargo/marine transit cover, downtime or loss-of-use cover, and personal accident insurance. At Shielded, we tailor a combination of these options to match your operation -whether you run a single rigid truck or a fleet of prime movers and trailers.

Several factors influence your premium including the type and value of your truck, your claims and driving history, the goods you carry, your operating radius (metro vs interstate), the level of excess you choose, and the cover options you select. For example, a prime mover hauling dangerous goods interstate will typically attract a higher premium than a light rigid truck doing local deliveries.

You can reduce your truck insurance costs by increasing your excess, bundling multiple vehicles or cover types into one policy, maintaining a clean claims history, and using an insurance broker like Shielded to compare quotes from multiple insurers. We compare rates from Zurich, NTI, CGU, Allianz, QBE and more to find competitive pricing for your situation.

In the event of an accident or claim, contact us at Shielded Insurance on 1800 97 98 99 or reach out to your insurer directly. We recommend notifying us as soon as possible so we can guide you through the claims process and help ensure a smooth outcome.

Yes, if you need full comprehensive coverage on a trailer you don't own, you'll need to list it on your policy. Some policies include default non-owned trailer coverage up to a certain limit (usually $50,000 to $100,000), but this typically covers liability only -not damage to the trailer itself. Talk to us about your towing arrangements so we can ensure you're properly covered.

Yes, comprehensive truck insurance policies in Australia include cover for both fire and theft as standard. Third party property damage policies do not include this -you need at least a third party fire and theft or comprehensive policy. If your truck is financed, your lender will usually require comprehensive cover.

Yes, if you're transporting dangerous goods (fuel, chemicals, gases etc.) you'll generally need specialist dangerous goods liability coverage. Limits can range significantly depending on the type of goods and the distances travelled, so it's important to discuss your specific requirements with us to ensure adequate protection.

Most truck insurance policies provide coverage across Australia, however some policies include a radius-of-operation limit based on what you declared when the policy was set up. If you travel outside your declared radius, additional excesses may apply or you may have issues at claim time. If your operations change, let us know so we can update your policy accordingly.

We compare quotes from a wide panel of Australian insurers including Zurich, NTI, HMIA, Penn, Global Transport (GT), ATL, CGU, Vero, Hollard, Allianz, and QBE.

As brokers, we do the comparison work for you to find the most competitive and suitable cover.

Truck insurance premiums vary widely depending on the vehicle type and value, your claims history, the goods carried, and your operating radius. As a rough guide, a single rigid truck may cost between $2,000–$5,000 per year for comprehensive cover, while a prime mover and trailer combination could range from $5,000–$15,000 or more.
