Compare Dump Truck Insurance via MultiQuoteTime

Dump truck and tipper insurance tends to cost more than standard van or car cover. Both vehicle types carry a high gross weight, and parts and labour for repairs are expensive. Tippers are also a common target for thieves because of their valuable components, so comprehensive cover matters more here than on many other commercial vehicles.

Comparing the market is the best way to see what’s currently available from a range of brokers, rather than accepting the first quote you’re offered. Going direct to a single insurer means you never find out if a better rate exists elsewhere.

MultiQuoteTime can provide access to a panel of specialist commercial vehicle brokers, whether you’re insuring a single tipper or a full fleet. If you’re managing several vehicles, our guide to Commercial HGV Fleet Insurance covers what changes as you scale up, and if you’re also running a lighter single vehicle, see our 7.5 Tonne Lorry Insurance page too.

Tipper Insurance will cover you for unforeseen circumstances

Insuring your dumper trucks helps protect your business from financial losses caused by theft, fires, vandalism, accidents, and other unforeseen incidents. Here are some key reasons to consider investing in comprehensive insurance coverage:

There may be instances where your drivers are involved in accidents that result in injuries to members of the public. In such cases, you could be held liable and required to pay significant compensation, potentially amounting to thousands of pounds. Having sufficient insurance coverage can help mitigate these costs and protect your company from the financial burden of such claims.

Find Affordable Dump Truck Insurance

Finding affordable tipper truck insurance has become easier than ever. This is thanks to the availability of insurance comparison websites, which enable customers to obtain quotes from multiple providers simultaneously.

When you get multiple quotes, you know that you are on the right path to getting a competitive quote for the level of cover that you require. You can compare quotes from different companies to find the underwriter that meets fully with your individual requirements. If you have 2,3,4 or more tippers in operation you should seriously consider taking fleet insurance which works out better on many fronts rather than purchasing cover for every individual dumper truck. Renewals and filing claims for a fleet of trucks is also more manageable.

Whatever the make of your truck be it Komatsu, Liebherr, Terex, Caterpillar or Hitachi or any other model we can provide multiple quotes from specialist underwriters that insurance this particular category of working dump lorry or tipping truck.

Dump Truck Advantages
Dump Truck Disadvantages
Easy transportation of heavy goods with ease, the tipper can be loaded with material that needs to be removed from the work site easily.
Construction materials can be transported to the required location on site and deposited quickly and with ease.
Agile : Even when fully loaded, these vehicles can be easily manoeuvred to the desired location
Tipper trucks are expensive, but they are cost-effective when compared to the equivalent price to complete the job using man power alone. 
Tippers come in a variety of sizes from 26 tonnes to 3.5 tonnes, so are suitable for small and big jobs.
Tipper Parts are Expensive : If your dump truck was vandalized or involved in an accident, it will be costly to replace the parts. However, if you have the parts included in the lorry policy, you will have saved on the cost of replacing or repairing.
Targeting by Thieves: Tipping lorries have a high risk of being stolen in the UK, as in most countries. Why? Because they are expensive and there is a ready “black market” for them as well or their parts. Replacing a stolen dump truck can be expensive and may take a huge chunk out of your business capital.

Tipper Insurance

There are a few ways to help save money on your tipper insurance. Here are some of them:

1. Pay annually for the policy. Most brokers offer discounts if you pay your policy on an annual basis. You can save significantly if you opt for annual payment rather than monthly payments.
2. Increase Excess. Increasing the policy excess can lead to a cheaper quote from most brokers, but do remember you will be responsible or the increased amount in the event of a claim.
3. Keep your Tipper Truck or Van Secure. Tippers are equipped with expensive gear, which makes them a target of theft. If you can show that you have a good level of secure overnight parking and other safety elements, this can also help lower your policy premiums.  
Additional Drivers : Consider the additional risk with insuring inexperienced young drivers or drivers with past motoring convictions. Doing so can easily bump up your premium.

Dump Truck Insurance FAQs

A tipper truck is an HGV with a body that tips at the rear. It’s a workhorse of the building and construction industry, mostly used to move waste from site and materials to it, sand, gravel, dirt, construction waste, landscape materials, coal and asphalt.

Up to 3.5 tonnes, a tipper counts as a Light Goods Vehicle and can often be covered by business van insurance, usually the cheaper route. Over 3.5 tonnes and up to 44 tonnes, it’s an HGV and needs a specialist licence and HGV policy. MultiQuoteTime can provide access to quotes for vehicles in the up to 3.5-tonne range, tailored to your business.

Yes. The panel of UK brokers can provide tipper insurance quotes whether you hold an operator’s licence or not.

Yes, though expect a higher premium than drivers over 25, since under 25s are statistically more likely to be in accidents. A telematics device monitoring braking, acceleration and speed can help reduce this. Courses like Pass Plus can also help bring the cost down.
