MGA launches commercial HGV motor breakdown insurance

Alps has launched a new commercial HGV motor breakdown policy designed to provide roadside and base assistance to HGV vehicles above 7.5 tonnes.

The policy provides assistance to HGV drivers and their vehicles in the event of an unexpected breakdown anywhere in the UK.

There are two levels of cover – local cover and base assist, as well as UK nationwide and base assist. Policies start from £305, while policyholders get 24/7 access to a dedicated recovery operator and broad coverage.

Michelle O’Reilly, managing director at Alps, said: “We continue to support brokers with innovative add-on solutions and the delivery of first-class claims services.

“With this new HGV breakdown policy, we’re providing faster response times, less downtime, better outcomes and most importantly, fulfilling a market need to keep fleets, businesses and their people moving.”

Expansion

The product has been developed in partnership with Call Assist, a Which? trusted trader for roadside recovery, and is underwritten by Collinson Insurance.

The proposition builds on the suite of add-on covers from Alps, including sole trader, commercial, landlord and family legal expenses, as well as  motor-related add-ons.

O’Reilly said: ”This brings our range of motor add-on solutions to 12 and the total portfolio of commercial, property and motor insurance policies to 23, solidifying our position as a leader in the market in terms of innovation and reliable protection.”
