What does 4x4 and off-road insurance cover?
It does what it says on the tin; 4x4 and off-road insurance is designed to cover vehicles used for off-road activities and recreational purposes. It goes that extra mile compared to standard motor insurance policies though, bearing in mind the unique risks associated with driving off-road.
The insurer’s we work with typically offer the following cover in their policy:
- Agreed value cover
- No claims bonus protection
- Off-roading cover
- Cover for green laning
- Breakdown cover
Each insurance provider may offer different options and coverage levels, so it's essential that you work with an experienced insurance broker, such as Howden, to find a policy that meets your specific off-road needs.
