FAQs

  • No! We're all about making stuff easy at Truck Assist, which is why you only need to complete 1 claim form no matter which products on your policy are involved.  So say for example you were stopped at a red light and were hit in the rear, causing damage to your truck AND your work tools, you will only need to complete the one claim form covering both the Commercial Motor and Work Tools products.

  • It depends on the type of claim. If your claim relates to your Goods in Transit Cover, Work Tools Cover or Public and Products Liability, you'll have to pay an excess every time a claim is made. But if you've been in a collision and it wasn't your fault, we might be able to waive your excess fee if:

    • You've provided sufficient proof and we agree you or your driver weren't at fault
    • You can identify and provide sufficient details of the third party driver who is at fault (name, telephone number, current address, and/or drivers licence number) and the third party vehicle registration
    • The amount of Your claim is greater than the applicable excess(es)

    The excess won't be waived if the other driver disputes who's at fault, or there's only windscreen or window glass damage and you haven't taken out the "Windscreen - One Excess Free" extension.

  • The sooner the better! If you've had an accident or need to make an extras claim, get in touch asap and we'll get onto it as fast as we can.
