Why Use QuoteSearcher for Courier Insurance?
Courier work comes in many forms. You might be delivering furniture in a van, parcels on a motorbike, or time-critical documents by car or bicycle. Whatever your setup, courier insurance often takes into account how and where you work, not just the vehicle you drive.
QuoteSearcher connects you with specialist brokers experienced in arranging insurance for courier businesses, including tight deadlines, vehicle downtime, and the responsibility of carrying other people’s goods. Courier insurance policies are typically built from several elements, which may include goods in transit, public liability, and breakdown cover, so the combination of covers can be an important consideration, alongside price.
We use a single, straightforward form to gather the information brokers need to understand your business. From there, brokers within our panel can speak with you directly about insurance options available based on your vehicle, workload, and operating model.

Courier Insurance Policy Features
Courier insurance can be tailored to suit different types of delivery work. Depending on how you operate, policies may include the following features:
Courier Van Insurance
Vehicle downtime can affect courier businesses, particularly where deliveries rely on a single vehicle. Courier-specific vehicle insurance is designed for business use and can apply to vans, cars, motorbikes, and other delivery vehicles. Find out more about Courier Van Insurance.
Goods in Transit
Usually provides protection against loss, damage, or theft of the items you are delivering. This is particularly important when transporting valuable, fragile, or time-sensitive goods. Find out more about Goods in Transit Insurance here.
Courier Breakdown Cover
Roadside assistance may help reduce downtime if your vehicle breaks down, allowing you to get back on the road as quickly as possible and could minimise disruption to deliveries. Find out more about Breakdown Cover.
Fleet Cover
If you operate more than one vehicle, covering them under a single fleet policy may offer a more streamlined way to manage multiple vehicles, depending on the provider.
Excess Protection
It may help manage the cost of paying an excess if a claim is made. Find out more about Excess Protection here.
Public Liability Insurance
Usually covers legal costs and compensation if a member of the public is injured, or property is damaged, as a result of your courier activities. Read more about Public Liability Insurance.
Suggested Courier Insurance Features
Every courier business is different, and no two policies will be exactly the same. In the UK, you are legally required to have at least third party only motor insurance. This can be extended to third party, fire and theft, or fully comprehensive cover, depending on the level of cover you choose.
You may also wish to discuss the following options with your broker:
Courier Liability Insurance
Public liability insurance can cover claims from third parties, such as pedestrians or customers. For example, if a package falls from your vehicle and causes injury or damage, this type of cover may help with legal and compensation costs.
Courtesy Vehicle Cover
While vehicle insurance may cover repairs, those repairs can take time. A courtesy vehicle could help you continue operating while your vehicle is off the road.
Vehicle-Specific Cover
Different vehicles carry different risks. A courier using a van to transport larger items may require different cover to a courier using a car or motorbike for small parcels. Your vehicle type can influence how insurers assess risk and structure cover.
Self-Employed Courier Insurance
Many couriers are self-employed, which offers flexibility but little protection if you are unable to work. Brokers may be able to discuss additional policy features that could help provide greater financial security.
Courier Fleet Insurance
If you run a courier business that utilises a range of vehicles, you may be able to choose a courier fleet insurance policy. This could give you blanket cover for all your vehicles and drivers, offering you maximum protection across your business.
There are many benefits to insuring your whole fleet. Not only could you save money by insuring a fleet rather than each individual driver, but you would also have all the information in one place, with a single broker.
You can incorporate many of the features mentioned on this page as part of a fleet insurance policy – to find out more, visit our Van Fleet or Motor Fleet insurance pages.
