RBIG LGV Insurance solutions

Light goods vehicles are the backbone of the UK economy, powering business efficiency and service delivery.

They are legally defined as four-wheel vehicles, with a gross weight no more than 3.5 tonnes, constructed for transporting goods. That definition embraces an enormous variety of vans, pick-ups and small box trucks.

In 2019 the Society of Motor Manufacturers reported that there were "3.4 million UK van users and employees of businesses that depend upon them." This was after the UK van parc had grown by 59% since 2010.

Protecting light commercial vehicles with effective LGV insurance is vital to those that own and operate them, be they sole-traders, private owners, SMEs or larger corporates.

With extensive understanding and experience of the van insurance market, our expert advisors can offer impartial advice on the most appropriate cover to meet your particular needs. This can include protecting not just your vehicles but the goods you carry, the people you employ, your customers and the public.

If you operate a mixed fleet of LGVs and HGVs we can also advise on and arrange specialist haulage insurance.

Whatever is driving your business success, we'll be pleased to support you with attentive, professional and personal service, including where appropriate the design of a bespoke LGV insurance policy. 

Once your cover is in place, we'll also be on hand to ensure the effective administration of your policy with our in-house claims team there for you should you unfortunately need make a claim.
