Motor Commercial Insurance

A commercial vehicle earning its keep cannot afford downtime — or the wrong class of cover. We arrange third party and comprehensive motor commercial cover for lorries, vans and pickups, matched to how the vehicle actually earns money.

What it covers

Third Party Only (TPO)

Covers injuries and damage caused to others. The legal minimum for commercial vehicles on Kenyan roads.

Comprehensive

Third party plus your own vehicle for accident damage, theft and fire. Recommended where the vehicle is financed or is the backbone of the business.

Correct use class

We make sure the policy matches the real use — own goods, general cartage or hire and reward — because the wrong class can void a claim.

Goods in Transit

Available from some insurers for the goods you carry. Ask us if your business needs it.

Who needs it

  • Businesses running lorries, vans or pickups
  • Transporters and contractors
  • Saccos and companies with small fleets

What you need to apply

  • Copy of the vehicle logbook
  • KRA PIN (company or individual)
  • National ID of the owner or director
  • Business registration certificate (for company-owned vehicles)
  • Vehicle valuation for comprehensive

Send documents on WhatsApp and we will confirm the exact list your insurer needs before you commit.

Common exclusions — the honest part

Common exclusions include overloading, use outside the insured class, unlicensed drivers and wear and tear. Carriage of hazardous goods usually needs special terms — tell us what you carry and we will advise.

Questions people ask

Does it matter what I carry?

Yes. Own-goods, general cartage and hire-and-reward are different classes with different premiums. Insuring under the wrong class is one of the most common reasons commercial claims are rejected.

Can you insure a whole fleet?

Yes. Fleets often qualify for better terms. Send us the list of vehicles and we will quote them together.

Is the driver covered?

Motor policies cover the vehicle and third parties. Driver and crew protection is handled through personal accident cover — we can quote both together.

Other covers people look at
