Working as a self-employed courier for Parcelforce? Before you load up and head out, you need to make sure you have the right insurance in place.
Standard car or van insurance does not cover you for commercial delivery work. The moment you're carrying parcels in return for payment, you're legally required to hold hire and reward insurance under the Road Traffic Act 1988. Without it, you're uninsured — and the consequences can be serious, from fines and licence points to having your vehicle seized.
Parcelforce requires proof of valid hire and reward insurance before you can work as a self-employed courier on their network. Getting the right cover in place protects you, your vehicle, and your ability to keep earning.
INSHUR's courier insurance is designed for exactly this: fast to get, simple to manage, and built around the way couriers actually work.
