The backbone of any successful farm operation is a reliable fleet of vehicles and equipment. This rings true to not only large farms, but even the smaller farms as well. From tractors and combines to trucks and haulers, each machine plays a critical role in keeping your farm running smoothly. But what happens when the unexpected strikes – leaving your valuable equipment out of commission? That’s where agricultural fleet insurance steps in.
Here at Hitchings Insurance, we know the challenges you face. Downtime due to a vehicle breakdown or accident can be devastating, impacting your schedule, productivity, and even income. That’s why we offer comprehensive agricultural fleet insurance solutions designed to protect your investment and keep your farm moving forward.
Why choose agricultural fleet insurance?
Running a farm means juggling multiple responsibilities and keeping track of individual insurance policies for each vehicle can be a hassle. Agricultural fleet insurance simplifies things by providing comprehensive coverage for your entire fleet under one policy. This allows you to:
- Save Time: No more managing separate policies and renewal dates.
- Streamline Costs: Often, fleet insurance offers discounted rates compared to purchasing individual policies.
- Gain Consistency: All your vehicles are covered under the same terms and conditions.
What does agricultural fleet insurance typically cover?
The specific coverage can vary depending on your chosen policy, but generally, it can include:
- Liability: Covers third-party injuries or property damage caused by your vehicles in an accident.
- Collision: Pays for repairs to your own vehicles after a collision, regardless of fault.
- Comprehensive: Protects your fleet from non-collision incidents like theft, fire, vandalism, or weather damage.
- Medical Payments: Covers medical expenses for anyone injured in an accident involving your vehicle, regardless of fault.
- Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist: Provides financial protection if you’re injured in an accident caused by a driver with no insurance or insufficient coverage.
Tailoring Your Fleet Coverage to Your Needs
Not all farms are created equal, and neither are their fleet insurance needs. At Hitchings Insurance, we work closely with you to understand your specific operation and customize a policy that includes the right coverage for:
- Vehicle types: Whether you have tractors, combines, pickups, or specialized equipment, we can ensure all your machinery is covered. Not just your grain hauling equipment.
- Usage: The frequency and type of use for each vehicle can be considered to adjust coverage levels.
- Replacement Value: We’ll factor in the value of each vehicle to ensure proper financial protection.
