Pickup truck insurance

• Commercial use
• Private use

• If you use your pickup truck in connection with your business, you’ll need to take out a commercial insurance policy, by choosing either the ‘Own goods’ or ‘Haulage’ options in our quote form
• Insurers will usually treat your pickup truck in the same way as a van of similar size, offering similar policies, prices and level of cover options
• Commercial policies could be extended to cover carrying hazardous goods, specialist tools and materials, or equipment and modifications like winches and snorkels

• Many insurers will not offer private insurance policies for pickup trucks over a certain size e.g. the Toyota Hilux, automatically classing them as LCV's (Light Commercial Vehicles), but this is worth checking
• If a private use policy is available for your pickup, it will offer similar levels of cover to most car insurance policies, with no allowance for use in connection with work
• If you’re unsure about the level of cover you need, you can find out more in our guide to insurance classes-of-use
