Freight Truck Insurance in Australia: What Operators Need to Know

Truck Insurance International Freight Insurance

Freight trucks play a critical role in Australia’s logistics network — but long distances, valuable cargo and strict deadlines expose operators to high risk.

Freight truck insurance provides protection for:

🚚 Vehicles – damage, theft, accidents
📦 Cargo – goods in transit cover
⚖️ Liability – third-party property and injury
⏱ Business continuity – downtime or loss of income

Premiums depend on freight type, truck size, operating region, fleet size, and claims history. Operators in logistics hubs like Melbourne, Sydney, Queensland, Perth, and Victoria often face higher risk exposure.

Working with a specialist broker ensures tailored cover across vehicles, cargo, liability, and compliance with NHVR requirements.
