Everything you need to know before taking out a policy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Hire a <strong>truck insurance<\/strong> is not just a legal obligation. It is a guarantee of protection for your vehicle, your company and the activity you carry out every day on the road. If you've ever wondered <em>what exactly truck insurance covers, what types there are, or how to choose the most suitable one<\/em>you are in the right place.<\/p>\n<p>Here we explain <strong>in a simple and non-technical way<\/strong> all the basics you need to know to move safely, inside or outside Spain, complying with regulations and protecting your investment.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFEs_obligatorio_asegurar_un_camion\"><\/span>Is it compulsory to insure a truck?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Yes, in Spain, <strong>every registered lorry must have at least third party liability insurance.<\/strong>. This covers damage you may cause to other people or their property in the event of an accident. Driving without this insurance carries severe penalties, including fines of up to 3,000 euros and immobilisation of the vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, if you use the truck to transport goods, both nationally and internationally, the legal and operational requirements may be even greater.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tipos_de_seguros_de_camiones_mas_comunes\"><\/span>Most common types of truck insurance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3>Basic third party insurance<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Compulsory and voluntary civil liability.<\/li>\n<li>Legal defence and claims for damages.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Extended third party insurance<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/lawebdeseguros.com\/en\/special-insurances\/roadside-assistance\/\"   title=\"Roadside assistance\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">Roadside assistance<\/a><\/strong> from kilometre zero.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Theft and fire<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Broken glass<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Damage due to meteorological phenomena.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Fully comprehensive insurance (with or without excess)<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>All of the above damages.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Own damage<\/strong> of the truck.<\/li>\n<li>Excess option to adjust the price of the insurance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Coberturas_importantes_en_un_seguro_de_camiones\"><\/span>Important coverages in a truck insurance policy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Not all truck insurance is the same, and making the right choice can save you a lot of trouble.
