Horsebox Hire Insurance in detail
We can arrange bespoke cover for horsebox owners, either for single vehicles or large fleets, including cover for damage caused by livestock, which is normally excluded by insurers.
We can also arrange a specialist breakdown service that includes full horse repatriation if needed. Plus, you won’t need to call us or complete an online form to log every hire you arrange; we’ll give you a detailed list of hirer criteria so you’ll be able to decide if your customer qualifies.
We’ll provide you with fully comprehensive annual insurance for your vehicle. This will cover the vehicle(s) at all times whether they’re on- or off-hire.
No mileage limitations Your annual premium will cover as many hires as you like, with no limitations on mileage.
Comprehensive cover Unlike other insurers our policy will cover your vehicle for theft by the hirer and, crucially, it includes damage by livestock.
Fire damage cover Additional cover can be included for fire damage caused by cooking and heating risks if you have cooking or heating facilities in your horsebox.
EU cover If a hirer wants to take their horse abroad, that’s no problem; give us a call and we can arrange cover for anywhere in the EU.
There are also additional covers available that we would recommend:
Breakdown service With full horse repatriation.
Commercial legal expenses This covers a variety of legal issues including motor disputes, contract cover and tax investigations and gives access to a legal helpline 24/7/365
