Truck Insurance When Fuel Costs Are Eating Your Margins
We can't control fuel prices — but we can help you stop overpaying on insurance.
Every kilometre costs more at the bowser. Margins are tight. The one big cost you can actually negotiate is your truck insurance premium — and that's where Ideal Insurance Brokers comes in.
Access across leading Australian insurers and underwriting agencies, including:
Where Your Money Goes
Fuel and tolls are fixed. Your insurance premium isn't.
As a truck owner, each rig likely generates around $160,000–$220,000 in annual revenue — but up to $80,000 goes to fuel, $50,000 to tolls and $15,000–$20,000 to insurance. Insurance alone can swallow up to 10% of your revenue per vehicle. We can't help with fuel prices or toll costs, but we can significantly reduce what you pay for truck insurance without leaving dangerous gaps in cover.
