Do I need separate insurance for my flatbed trailer?

A flatbed trailer is a very versatile piece of kit, so it makes sense to get it covered with the right insurance policy. Sterling will find the best insurance cover that will suit your needs.

Most comprehensive insurance policies for cars and vans only cover trailers for third party liability. It means you would be covered for any injury to a third party or damage to their property, but not if your trailer was damaged in an accident that was your fault. You would also not be covered for theft or fire damage.

Sterling’s trailer insurance will solve these problems, and the best deals are available over the phone.
