The short answer: The Insurance Exchange insures 10ft and 14ft lorries, tippers and pickups across Singapore's major insurers — at volume-negotiated rates with our agency discount stacked on top, renegotiated every renewal. WhatsApp your vehicle log card and the quote comes back the same day.

From kopi runs to construction sites.

10-footers, 14-footers, tippers, open-deck, canopy — if it has a GVW and a job to do, we've probably insured one like it.

Comprehensive

Full cover for newer or financed lorries. Costs the most, negotiates the best — this is where our volume discounts do their heaviest lifting.

Third Party, Fire & Theft

Third-party liability plus your own lorry against fire and theft. Sensible middle ground for mid-life lorries.

Third Party Only

Our honest recommendation for most older lorries: fully legal, dramatically cheaper, and the coverage you give up is coverage insurers barely want to sell you anyway.

What actually moves your lorry premium.

  • Lorry age — past roughly 10 years, insurers tend to offer only Third Party Only or TPFT. For older lorries, TPO usually wins the math anyway.
  • Attachments — a hood, box body, tailgate or crane raises the premium, and every attachment must be declared or a claim can be rejected.
  • Nature of business — a lorry hauling construction material and one delivering pastries do not price the same. Insurers rate the trade, not just the vehicle.
  • Hire or reward use — hauling goods for other people costs more than hauling your own, and carries a higher excess. Declare it right — it protects your claims.
  • Your NCD — capped at 20% for commercial vehicles, fully transferable, and we verify it ourselves so switching insurers is painless.
  • Driver profile — young, elderly or newly-licensed drivers trigger YEID additional excess with most insurers. Which insurer matters: the amounts differ.
  • Workshop plan — approved workshops are cheaper and handle accident reporting on the spot; for working lorries it's rarely worth paying for more.

Full breakdown in our guide: what actually decides your premium.

Lorry insurance questions, answered straight.

How much does lorry insurance cost in Singapore?
It depends on the lorry and the business behind it: vehicle age and tonnage, your NCD, claims record, driver profile and coverage type all move the number — often by hundreds of dollars between insurers for the exact same lorry. That spread is precisely why an agency that shops multiple insurers beats walking into one. WhatsApp us your log card and we'll give you the real number, usually same-day.
Why do you recommend Third Party Only for older lorries?
Three reasons: insurers are reluctant to write comprehensive cover on older commercial vehicles (or they quote painfully high); the theft risk for working lorries in Singapore is genuinely low; and diesel lorries carry low fire risk. Third Party Only keeps you fully legal and puts the premium difference back in your pocket. For newer or financed lorries, comprehensive still makes sense.
What is the YEID additional excess on my lorry policy?
YEID = Young, Elderly or Inexperienced Drivers: under 26, 70 and above, or less than 2 years' Singapore driving experience. If such a driver has an accident, an additional excess applies on top of your standard excess — with some insurers it's $2,500 or more. Age bands and amounts differ by insurer, so tell us who drives your lorries and we'll match you to a policy where this stings least.
What do you need from me to quote my lorry?
Two things: a copy of your vehicle log card (PDF preferred, or a clear photo) and your company name. We read the vehicle details off the log card and verify your NCD ourselves — no forms, no proof documents, no site visit. WhatsApp both to 8832 1392 and the quote comes back to the same chat.
