Frequently Asked Questions
What is vehicle recovery operator insurance?
Insurance for recovery operators provides suitable cover for businesses who recover vehicles following incidents or accidents at the roadside. This type of insurance covers vehicles, employees, members of the public, and your business premises, so you can carry out the work required to safely recover vehicles with the tools and equipment you need to do the job.
What special risks are faced that I need this insurance for?
Recovery operators need to load and unload vehicles in often dangerous situations, and are entrusted with customer vehicles in transit. A recovery operator insurance policy can help to cover these risks. If vehicles are safely stored in compliance with regulations at your yard/depot, your insurance can also cover the risks involved with this.
Why has Kingfisher partnered with PROSE?
Kingfisher is committed to providing insurance for this industry and the valuable work undertaken by vehicle recovery operators across the UK. PROSE are at the forefront of raising standards in the industry and has successfully led campaigns to help the industry come together in protecting itself. We will learn first-hand from PROSE about the challenges the industry faces and how we can respond with insurance to meet the current and future needs of vehicle recovery operators.
What is the Slow Down and Move Over campaign?
The Slow Down and Move Over campaign is a standalone awareness campaign designed to bring roadside rescue operators to the attention of members of the public, asking them to Slow Down and Move Over in the event that they see a recovery vehicle at the roadside. It’s a simple message which we hope is heeded in the ongoing fight to improve the safety of roadside workers and members of the public who are stranded at the roadside.
