Farm and agricultural vehicle insurance

Whether you are a farmer or smallholder, contractor or landowner, with our farm fleet agricultural vehicle insurance, you can insure all of your farm vehicles and agricultural machinery under one policy. 

The policy will also cover attachments and equipment which is designed to be attached to farming vehicle. 

Often targeted, GPS systems are attractive to thieves – especially domes and portable systems that can be quickly taken from a tractor cab. However, it's not uncommon for agricultural vehicle insurance policies to exclude cover for your GPS once it's been removed from the vehicle. So make sure you have separate cover in place under your farm insurances for this vital piece of kit if you remove it for security purposes. Don't assume it's covered through your tractor insurance.

  • Self-propelled sprayers
  • Farm quad bikes
  • Combine harvesters
  • Private cars and commercial vehicles
