Boxing clever when it comes to insurance

Equine transport varies tremendously in price and usage - prices around £20,000 are common for a 7.5 tonne luxury motor vehicle. With all the advantages of advanced technology, comfort and quality, these vehicles need a comprehensive insurance policy to match.

Adrian Flux Insurance, a leading commercial vehicle insurance broker, can now offer a superb insurance package for horseboxes. The policy is written on a commercial vehicle basis so the client not only has social, domestic and pleasure cover but also has business use cover for carrying cargo other than horses. The latter is extremely useful during the off-season.

The policy is competitively priced for all types of horseboxes and goes up to 7.5 tonne models as standard. For example, the average premium on a horsebox valued at £4,500 driven by a thirty year old living in an NR postcode with a 3 years no claims bonus, will only be £183 per annum for fully comprehensive, unlimited mileage cover.

Windscreen cover is standard on fully comprehensive risk cover, and, as an added bonus, a courtesy vehicle is supplied when the horsebox is being repaired during a claim. Options on the policy include green card cover and cover for any authorised driver over 25 years old.

Horseboxes tend to be customised to the owners' specific requirements and Flux's policies are designed to reflect this, each policy being tailored to suit the individual customer. Flux's staff, who are familiar with this type of vehicle, are on hand to discuss details with the customer and sort out the particulars of the policy.
