Why Do You Need JCB Insurance?
As a JCB owner you should have a backhoe loader insurance due to the following reasons:
- It is mandatory by law to have at least a Liability Only policy to protect a third party against any damage and losses that could be caused by your backhoe loader.
- A JCB insurance policy will protect you from any unexpected losses incurred due to unforeseen circumstances.
- Since heavy machinery like JCB works in riskier conditions and is more prone to damage, any mishap can lead to a massive loss of investment. Thus, securing it with a standard policy can protect you financially in such situations.
- As per your chosen JCB policy, you can get insurance as per the current replacement value of the machinery.
- You can also get coverage for both partial and total damage to the equipment, depending on whether you buy a comprehensive policy.

What's covered in JCB Insurance?
What’s not covered?
It is equally important to know what’s not covered in your JCB insurance policy so that there are no surprises when you make a claim. Here are some such situations:
If you’re only going to go for a Third-Party Commercial Insurance for your commercial vehicle, then own damages and losses won’t be covered.
If during a claim, the driver-owner is found to be driving the insured vehicle without a valid driver’s license or under the influence of alcohol then the claim can’t be approved.
Any damages or losses caused to the heavy-duty vehicle due to contributory negligence won’t be covered for. For example, if there are existing floods in the city, and one still takes the tractor out.
Any damages or losses that aren’t a direct result of an accident, natural calamity or fire can’t be covered for.
