Courier Insurance
Courier Insurance — Specialist Cover for Delivery Drivers
Courier insurance is a specialist commercial vehicle policy for drivers who transport goods for hire and reward. Standard car or van insurance does not cover delivery work — if you are a courier, parcel delivery driver, or work for services like Amazon, DPD, Yodel, or DHL, you need a policy that covers you for commercial deliveries. Without it, your insurance is void and you are driving illegally.
At UK Sure, we offer competitively priced courier insurance for drivers aged 23 and above, including those with motoring convictions, claims, and accidents. Our policies include windscreen cover with excess from £50, motor excess from £250, free EU cover for up to 90 days for vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes, uninsured loss recovery, and a 24-hour claims service. Optional extras include goods in transit, public liability, employer's liability, and breakdown cover.
We cover independent couriers, Amazon Flex drivers, DPD delivery service partners, Yodel and DHL drivers, lifestyle couriers, and fleet operators. If you deliver hot takeaway orders rather than parcels, see our dedicated fast food delivery insurance instead. Whether you need a 30-day policy or annual cover with monthly payments, UK Sure will find the right quote.

Frequently asked questions
1. What is courier insurance?
Courier insurance protects you against the risks you face when picking up goods and making multiple deliveries for hire and reward. Standard car or van insurance does not cover this type of work — you need a specialist commercial policy. Call 01323 416706 for a quote.
2. What insurance do I need to work as a courier driver?
You need commercial vehicle insurance that covers carriage of goods for hire and reward. This is a legal requirement. You should also consider goods in transit insurance to protect the items you deliver, and public liability insurance. Call 01323 416706 to discuss your options.
3. Do I need courier insurance for Amazon Flex or DPD?
Yes. If you deliver for Amazon, DPD, Yodel, DHL, Hermes, or any similar service, you need courier insurance that covers hire and reward use. Standard car insurance will not cover you and your policy could be voided.
4. Can I get courier insurance with convictions?
Yes. UK Sure covers drivers with motoring convictions, claims history, and accidents. We work with specialist insurers who accept higher-risk profiles. Call 01323 416706 to discuss your circumstances.
5. What is the difference between courier insurance and goods in transit?
Courier insurance covers your vehicle while making deliveries. Goods in transit insurance covers the cargo you are transporting against damage, loss, or theft. You need both to be fully protected.
6. Can I pay for courier insurance monthly?
Yes. We offer flexible payment options with premiums spread across monthly instalments. We also offer 30-day short-term policies if you only need temporary cover.
