Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need insurance for a food truck or mobile takeaway?

Yes. Mobile food operations need public liability covering food safety, vehicle incidents, and customer injury. Some insurers specialize in mobile food.

Does the cover include vehicle damage if I have an accident?

Public liability doesn't cover vehicle damage. You need motor vehicle insurance. Public liability covers third-party injury or property damage from the accident.

What if I operate from multiple locations?

Multi-location operations are covered. Some insurers may ask for details of all sites. Discuss your operation locations.

Am I covered for food handling violations?

Public liability covers injury claims. If you breach food safety regulations, you may face fines from council, but claims for customer illness are covered.
