What Does Kenworth Truck Insurance Cover?

  • Accidents (Liability Coverage): This is a must-have by law. It covers damage or injuries you might cause to others if you're at fault in an accident.

  • Your Cargo (Motor Truck Cargo Coverage): Protects the goods you're hauling if they get lost or damaged while in transit.
  • Non-Trucking Liability: Covers you when your truck is being used for personal reasons and not hauling for business.
  • Downtime Protection: Helps cover your income if your truck is out of commission after an accident, meaning you can't earn money.
  • Roadside Help: Can cover things like towing or repairs if your Kenworth breaks down far from home.
Why Do You Need Special Insurance for Your Kenworth?

  • It's the Law: Most states and federal regulations require specific commercial truck insurance for big rigs.
  • Protect Your Investment: Your Kenworth is valuable. Insurance safeguards that value against unexpected damage or loss.
  • Protect Your Business: Accidents can be incredibly costly. Insurance prevents these costs from crushing your business operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about Kenworth Truck Insurance and General Enquiries

Do I really need special insurance for my Kenworth truck?

Yes, absolutely! Regular car insurance is not enough for a commercial Kenworth truck. You need specific commercial truck insurance that covers the big risks associated with hauling goods and operating a large vehicle for business purposes. It's often legally required too.

How much does Kenworth truck insurance cost?

The cost varies a lot! It depends on many things like your specific Kenworth model, your driving history, what you haul, how far you drive, and your location. The best way to know your exact cost is to get a free, custom quote tailored to your situation.

Can I get coverage for my specific Kenworth model, like a W900 or T680?

Yes! We specialize in insurance for all Kenworth models. We will help you find coverage that is perfect for your exact truck and how you use it, making sure you have exactly the right protection.

What type of truck insurance is available?

Truck insurance typically consists of liability coverage, cargo coverage, comprehensive coverage, and personal accident insurance. We can tailor options to suit you.

What factors affect my premium and quote price?

A few factors that can affect your premium include the type of vehicle you drive, your driving record, the type and amount of coverage you choose, and the amount of your excess also known as a deductible.

How to get cheaper truck insurance?

Who do I contact in a claim?

In the event of an accident or claim, you should contact your us or your insurer right away.

Do I need extra cover when towing other owners trailers?

Yes, if you need full comprehensive coverage on the trailer you will need to list the trailer on your policy. Some policies will include some default coverage up to a certain limit (usually $50,000 to 100,000) but this is usually for a liability aspect only.

Does truck insurance cover fire and theft?

Yes, comprehensive truck insurance policies provide coverage for theft and fire.

Do I need more cover if I'm carting dangerous goods?

Generally speaking, you will need to take out dangerous goods liability coverage for protection. These limits can range so it's important you talk to us.

Am I covered Australia Wide?

It's important to note though that some policies will have radius limits on them depending what you declared when setting up the policy. If you go outside of this radius limit there may be extra excesses applicable or issues in a claim.
