  • Licence liability condition: No insurance condition was found in the accreditation scheme. The conditions the Commission may impose are a safety and security management plan, safety and security audits, vehicle inspections, record keeping and a system for managing risks to safety. MAIB cover attaches to registering the vehicle rather than to the operator's accreditation. This negative rests on a partial rather than a complete read of the Act.

What contracts commonly ask for

Principals and head contractors set their own insurance requirements, and those are frequently higher than a licence condition. The requirement that binds is the higher of the two, and both have to be read from the actual document.

What this cover costs

This site publishes no cost benchmark for this cover. A benchmark needs a real sample of documents, and none is published until the sample is large enough to compute a median honestly. A benchmark from a handful of policies is a guess with a decimal point.
