Why should I buy a Heavy Vehicle Insurance?

Heavy duty vehicles are a large part of an operational investment for any business. The least a business should do is protect it with an insurance, that will help compensate for losses in times of need.
As per the Motor Vehicle Act, it is mandatory for all vehicles, including commercial vehicles to at least have a third-party commercial vehicle insurance in place. Without the same, you may be liable to pay heavy fines and other consequences.
Insuring your heavy-duty vehicle won’t only ensure your business is safeguarded from losses, but also helps you maintain your vehicle better in the case of unforeseen circumstances such as natural calamities, fires, accidents and collisions.
