Why can't I get insurance for a hire tractor?

[Dave Rouse]

Thanks Dave. Might be a case of giving NFU on another number. Bit like my bank or HMRC. it depends on the personality of whoever picks up the phone, as to whether you can get what you want. Didn't ask, and they didn't suggest liability insurance as a way through it. When you say £50K of hired in plant, do you mean that you could hire say 10 machines over the year so long as none of them are over £50K, or the total hire cost over the year is less than £50K? Sorry if I sound thick haha

 

it covers hired in plant of upto £50k at anyone time. if you needed more you can request it, its just that £50k is the standard (i think it £50k, as havent got policy docs infront of me at mo)

When you get your tractor insurance make sure you tell them you are moving trees as they call it because standard ag tractor policy does not cover you.

I,still confused as to what type of cover you are looking for. what is the insurance to cover?
