Why is driver’s negligence insurance relevant to recruitment companies?

Tony by Tony on 07/04/2011 in Recruitment Industry Insurance

If a recruitment company is supplying temporary drivers, they may be required to carry driver negligence insurance. This insurance provides cover against claims in respect of damage caused to vehicles being driven by agency supplied drivers to their clients.

Agencies may find that clients try to make them liable under contract in respect of such damage caused by the negligent acts of temporary workers. This type of insurance can only normally be purchased in conjunction with public & employers liability. Cover for driver negligence is normally limited to either £5,000 or £10,000 per claim and the premiums are rated on the number of drivers supplied.

For more information, please contact Tony Gibbs on 0118 9452944 or complete an enquiry form.

    The minimum premium for a £10,000 limit is going to be approximately £2,500 per annum. The insurers will take into consideration the maximum number of drivers at any one time and also any claims history. If you need any further information please call me on 0118 452 944 or tony.gibbs@macbeths.co.uk

    No, the intention of the drivers negligence cover is only to provide cover for the vehicle the placement is driving. Normally there is a set indemnity limit of either £5,000 or £10,000
