Farm Insurance

Comprehensive Farm Insurance

Don't let the unexpected jeopardise your livelihood.

Protect your assets including:

  • buildings and vehicles
  • milk contamination and fines cover

Every farm is different, but whether you are farming sheep, cattle or crops, having comprehensive farm insurance is a good business decision.

Rural insurance is different from typical business insurance and will give you cover that suits your specific needs. Bridges Insurance Services manages a range of farm insurance and our experienced Hamilton-based insurance brokers can help you find the right policy.

As well as farm insurance our team can also organise your heavy vehicle insurance, fleet insurance and liability insurance, as well as home and contents insurance and car insurance.

From livestock cover to your farm vehicles, Bridges Insurance Services has you covered.

Farm insurance from Bridges Insurance Services can cover you for everything from buildings to products. Farming is an industry that includes many hazards so rural liability insurance is essential to your insurance portfolio.

A rural liability insurance package can protect you from liability arising from farming operations such as grazing livestock, employers liability insurance which covers accidental injuries caused by operating farm machinery or handling hazardous substances, and statutory liability insurance to cover unintentional breaches of statutes.

FAQs

We have outlined some common insurance questions to help you understand insurance better.

What fees do you charge? How do you make your money?

For most policies, we are remunerated by the insurer when you take out cover arranged by us. This includes renewals and changes you make throughout the year. 

The remuneration we receive is a percentage of the company premium & company natural disaster premium you are charged. All other levies, Government charges and taxes are collected without us earning income on these.

In addition, to enable us to provide you with a high level of service we may also apply an Administration Charge which will be shown on your invoice.

What is a Duty of Disclosure?

When you enter into a contract of insurance you have a legal duty to disclose to the insurer all facts that are material to the risk. This would include all information you know or could reasonably be expected to know that would influence the judgment of a prudent insurer in accepting or declining an insurance risk or in fixing the premium or terms or conditions of the contract.
