Trucking Insurance

When it moves, we protect it!

South Africa’s transport sector is a high-risk industry, so selecting a reputable insurance provider is paramount if you are to keep your wheels turning. A single incident can leave your company with devastating losses.

The heavy haulage sector is the heartbeat of South Africa’s economy and is responsible for transporting over 80% of goods nationwide. At Hollard Trucking, we understand that this industry isn’t to be taken lightly! As a leading heavy commercial vehicle (HCV) insurer in South Africa, we are sector specialists when it comes to HCV cover, including goods-in-transit and goods-in-transit contingency cover. We offer customised cover for all sectors of the transport industry – no matter how big or small the haul, our cover fits your client’s needs.

Women Inspiring Women In Transport (WIWIT)

We’re proud to be a driving force behind WIWIT – Women Inspiring Women to Lead in Transport. This impactful programme champions a future where women truck drivers have the skills and opportunities to thrive within the transport industry. For far too long, this sector has presented women with an uphill battle, despite the fact that they often demonstrate safer driving habits than their male counterparts. At Hollard, we’re passionate about rewriting this narrative, and clearing the road for women to excel.

Hollard's trucking division has thrown its full support behind WIWIT's mission. We've sponsored two state-of-the-art training truck trailers, equipped two training centres with 10 laptops each, and opened up access to Hollard's comprehensive e-learning platform, equipping aspiring women truck drivers with the tools and knowledge they need for success. But this is only the start. As WIWIT grows and evolves, we're committed to playing an active role in shaping a transport industry where skilled women truck drivers and inspirational women leaders are not the exception, but the norm.
