Truck Drivers & Life Insurance
Life insurance for truck drivers should be available at standard terms with most insurers in the UK. There are some things that can change this and we will find the right insurer for you.
Our advisers will ask you:
- What is your annual mileage?
- Are you travelling in the UK or abroad?
- If you are travelling outside of the UK, where are you driving to and how long are you there?
If you travel regularly outside of the UK this can potentially change your options for life insurance. Your life insurance application will need to be placed with an insurer that can support your travel.
The places that you travel to can also make quite a difference to your life insurance options.
Our award winning advisers will find the right insurer and best life insurance policy for you.
Truck Drivers & Critical Illness Cover
Critical illness cover pays out a cash lump sum of money, if you are diagnosed with a medical condition that is listed in the insurer’s claims set e.g. cancer, heart attack, stroke.
Critical illness insurance for lorry drivers will generally be available at normal terms.
If you travel regularly outside of the UK for work, it is likely that the insurer will want to know details about where you travel to and for how long.
Our expert advisers are here to find the right critical illness policy to match your needs.
Truck Drivers & Income Protection
Income protection pays you a replacement of your monthly income, if you are unable to work due to ill health.
Income protection for truck drivers is available with many insurers and you can see quite different terms depending upon who you use.
Some insurers can see driving as quite high risk due to long term health conditions that can develop. You will often find that here can be big price differences between insurers for your income protection, and this is simply because some are specifically set up to support people in your line of work.
Our expert advisers will find the best insurer so that you can get the income protection that you need.
