What is Prime Mover Insurance?
Prime mover insurance is designed to protect your truck, any trailers you’re towing (whether you own them or not), the cargo you’re carrying, your public liability as well as your income in case your prime mover is damaged in an accident.
You can buy all these insurances separately – but having a prime mover insurance package gives you increased peace of mind, knowing you only have 1 insurer to deal with who will assess and settle everything to do with your claim.
With many different products covering different risks and liabilities, it’s important to discuss your coverage with your broker.
Having someone who understands your needs and options means they can create a solution that covers what’s important to you.

Prime Mover insurance claim example
Mustafa is an owner driver with a prime mover he uses for interstate haulage. His main contractor requires him to have a Certificate of Currency showing coverage for his vehicle, the trailer he is towing, the goods he is carrying, and his public liability. Mustafa also elects to take cover for “downtime” to give him replacement income if his truck is damaged.
Mustafa has an accident where his truck rolls damaging not only his vehicle, but the trailer and the goods he is carrying. As Mustafa has a Prime Mover insurance package, he has a single insurer assess the claim, pay the cost of repairs for his truck and trailer as well as reimbursing him for his lost income while these repairs are underway. They also directly pay his customer for the goods he was carrying that were damaged too!
