What Is Recovery and Transportation?
Recovery & Transportation is a specialist form of motor trade insurance designed for businesses and individuals involved in roadside recovery and vehicle transportation. It can provide cover for recovery trucks and transporters used to collect broken-down or damaged vehicles or the movement of other people’s vehicles for a fee. If your business involves towing, lifting or transporting other people’s vehicles, standard motor insurance isn’t enough, you need dedicated Motor Trade Insurance tailored to your operations.
Coversure Cannock has helped numerous recovery and transportation professionals get quality protection. Thanks to their extensive network of insurer relationships, they can tailor cover to suit your needs. They’ll be happy to give you the help you need to keep your business safe.

Recovery and Transportation Vehicle Insurance FAQ
Recovery and Transportation Vehicle Insurance FAQ
Is the vehicle being recovered/transported also insured under this policy?
If the vehicle is being driven on the road and your motor trade policy includes cover for customer vehicles, then yes, you are covered. However, we strongly recommend having a dedicated ‘vehicles in transit’ policy to ensure appropriate coverage while the vehicle is being transported and not actively driven, as standard road cover may not apply in those circumstances.
Are tools and onboard equipment covered?
No
Can I get cover if I’m a new or part-time operator?
Yes, you can
Are there typically any vehicle restrictions (e.g., weight limits)?
Max 44 tonne, appropriate licences must be held. Cover can be sourced for people below aged 25, but premiums are typically higher and there may be limitations on the types of vehicles they can drive.
Do you do impound insurance?
No
Are your policies suitable for sites like Engenius and Book A Move?
Your policy can be made suitable for these companies.
