Short term cover - long term relationship.

Mon, 11 Aug 2008 09:37:00 EST

Short term or single trip cover has long been the favourite of families, but the growing requests for HGV short term cover has opened up a new market for National Breakdown. Their latest reporting shows a marked increase in requests for short term policies under 30 days for vehicles between 7.5 and 44T. National Breakdown extended this cover earlier this year for vehicles up to 44T and the demand is growing. The claim rate for this type of cover is relatively low compared to an Annual policy, however the costs are much higher and the incidents of breakdown are significantly higher in 7.5T hired vehicles. Despite this, the cost of a short term policy starts from only �22 for a 1 day trip to �101.25 for a 31 day trip. Recognising the potential for this type of Policy - Truck Assist with National Breakdown is developing the ability to sell this via it's web Interface. The relationship between the Companies is stronger than ever with further discussions and product developments on their way. It is hoped that the Short term breakdown will be available for brokers before the year is out.
