Roadworthy Centres Insurance

Purpose-built protection for authorised vehicle testing stations, their specialised equipment, customer vehicles and testing-related liability exposures.

Insurance Designed for Vehicle Testing Stations

Roadworthy centres work at the intersection of vehicle safety, customer care and regulatory compliance. Damage to a vehicle during testing, an equipment failure or a liability allegation can interrupt operations and create a significant financial exposure.

Our cover is structured around the practical risks of testing stations, protecting the premises, testing lanes, equipment and vehicles entrusted to your team—subject to the terms and limits of the selected policy.
