This financially covers you from any losses and damage caused to a third-party due to a tractor owned by your business.
  • All businesses are prone to risks both big and small. However, if you’re an asset heavy business with several tractors being used for business operations, then getting a tractor insurance is the bare minimum you can do to protect all your tractors from own damages and losses- both to the tractor and the driver-owner itself.

Factors Affecting Tractor Insurance Premium

factors-affecting-tractor-insurance-premium

Factors Affecting Tractor Insurance Premium

  • Type of Insurance Plan: Your tractor insurance premium price will depend on the kind of plan you choose, like a Liability Only policy will have less premium as compared to Standard Package policy premium.
  • Model & Make of the Tractor: The model, make and engine of the vehicle are extremely important in determining the right insurance premium. Therefore, your tractor insurance price will significantly depend on the model and make of your tractor, type of fuel, its manufacturing year and other additional features.
  • Location: The place you register and use your tractor also helps decide your tractor insurance premium. For example, in metropolitan cities more traffic leads to more accident rates, leading to a higher premium.
  • No-Claim Bonus: If you’ve not made claims in your previous policy years, you can claim a discount on your tractor insurance renewal using the ncb.
