Truck & Plant On-Demand Insurance
A global insurtech first for commercial vehicles and plant machinery
Never waste another insurance premium on cover you don’t need. Switch to our innovative on-demand insurance cover uniquely designed for the civil, construction and transport industries.
Truck & Plant On-Demand allows you to only pay for cover when you need it and to change your cover based on your business operations at any given time. It’s all in your control.
Whether you’re an owner-run small business, a construction company, or one of the biggest fleet operators on the road, we offer cover tailored to your needs.
How it works
With Truck & Plant On-Demand you have full control of your insurance cover. You choose what you want to insure, when you want to insure it, and how you want to insure it. We understand your industry and need for cover to change as your business needs do.
Our offering was created on the simple premise that you shouldn’t have to pay the same premium every month, when the cover you need isn’t always the same.

If your fleet is out on the road or in the garage, your risk profile changes – and so too should your insurance premiums. Similarly, if your construction machinery (plant) is on-site for a project, or in storage, you can now pay for your cover on-demand – and significantly reduce your insurance costs without compromising your cover. Our cover ranges from Comprehensive Cover for when you’re fully operational or just Fire and Theft Cover if your assets aren’t in use.
Efficient service
We have a national network of the best Auto Body Repairers available at any given time to ensure quick and efficient repairs to vehicles or machinery. We will authorise claims within 48 hours of receiving all necessary documentation and the assessor’s report.
No-fuss cover
We keep it simple – no need to identify regular drivers or limiting cover to a specific pool of drivers or operators.
What we cover
Truck & Plant On-Demand offers a comprehensive range of insurance products for all types of commercial operations. We’re always available to discuss your unique needs and can tailor our cover for your unique business.
Commercial Vehicle Insurance
We offer the full spectrum insurance including heavy commercial vehicles (HCVs), trucks and trailers, as well as light delivery vehicles (LDVs) commonly referred to as ‘bakkies’. Our cover includes recovery, non-accident towing, windscreen damage, and roadside assistance.
Plant All Risk Insurance
Covers for loss of, or damage to, construction plant and equipment whilst in storage, transit, on the contract site or when in use as a tool of trade.
Light Duty Vehicles
Your Light Duty Vehicles, Pickup Trucks, and “Bakkies” are working hard for your business during the week. While safely parked away during their time-off, and often over weekends, you have the power to adjust the cover on your Light Duty Vehicles based on their circumstances. That means you benefit from comprehensive cover as and when you need it. For the first time in history, you can also automate this process through our integrated telematics solutions which automatically adjust your cover according to your needs.
Tool Hire
Power tools, small plants, equipment, and machinery can now be insured with our comprehensive On-Demand cover. We provide adjustable cover for all types and sizes of tools and equipment with the advantage of short-period cover, as and when you need it. This service is available for end users and Tool Hire companies, where our latest technology seamlessly integrates with any Tool Rental Software to provide you with on-demand cover like never before.

|
Settlement on a total loss of 2007 Mercedes Benz 2535 LS/39 Axor 2 c/c T/T, chosen to be insured on an ongoing basis and forms part of other items insured.
|
|
|
Example current Market Value Value of Extras at Market Value |
R 683 650 R 65 950 |
| Applicable Excess | A sum or a percentage due to value, whichever the greater. In this scenario: R20 000 but not less than 10% |
| Value settlement | R 749 600 less 10%, seeing that is the greater, R74 960 thus R 674 640. |
OR
|
Settlement on a total loss of 2007 Mercedes Benz 2535 LS/39 Axor 2 c/c T/T, chosen to be insured on a short period and does not form part of other items insured.
|
|
|
Example current Market Value Value of Extras at Market Value |
R 683 650 R 65 950 |
| Applicable Excess | A sum or a percentage due to value whichever the greater and in addition less than annual premium. In this scenario: R20 000 or 10% whichever the greater and in addition, the annual premium too |
