CTP Green Slips For Trucks

 

We set out to discover all the essential things you should know about CTP green slips for trucks

 

What Is CTP For Trucks all about?

 

CTP insurance (NSW) provides compensation for personal injuries if you or one of your drivers causes a motor vehicle accident. Having CTP coverage removes the financial burden such as compensating the victims for their hospital bills.

 

It covers all other drivers, passengers, and pedestrians that are affected. But, you won’t be compensated for any property damage (yours or the other party’s) nor for any personal injuries when you’re the driver at-fault.

 

Understanding Vehicle Classifications & Truck Shape

 

One of the most important factors in identifying CTP green slip quotes for trucks is the vehicle class. Insurers set green slip prices based on State Insurance Regulatory Authority (SIRA) guidelines.

 

According to the guidelines, your CTP premiums are updated each year based on your vehicle class. Passenger vehicles, like the sedans and SUVs, are Class 1. On the other hand, trucks are classified as Class 3 vehicles. These are generally large vehicles that carry goods.

 

The sub-classes of Class 3 are 3C, 3D, and 3E. The main difference between these three sub-classes is the Gross Vehicle Mass or GVM of the vehicle in question.

Class 3C vehicles have a maximum GVM.of 4,500. Class 3D vehicles have 4,501 to 16,000 GVM while Class 3E vehicles have a GVM above 16,000. There is a separate pricing structure for each class and sub-class. They can also vary significantly.

 

Another factor to consider is the truck shape. The most common truck shapes are TT (tabletop) are TTF (tabletop with fittings), PAN (Pantech or Pantechnicon), TPR (Tipper), and PMV (Prime Mover). The GVM of these truck shapes can range from 4,500 GVM to over 30,000 GVM.

 

Other Factors That Affect Green Slip Prices

 

Many truck owners are registered for Goods and Services Tax (GST) and their vehicles are more likely to be part of a fleet. Green slip prices in NSW are more affordable for fleets. Some insurers might even offer incentives for people that want to secure fleet policies.

 

GST registration and your entitlement to an Input Tax Credit on your tax invoice can also affect your CTP quote. See below to see how claiming an input tax credit for GST impacts your green slip price.

Just a friendly reminder before you start….

DUTY OF DISCLOSURE/ DUTY NOT TO MAKE A MISREPRESENTATION

Before you enter into an insurance contract, you have a duty to tell the insurer anything that you know, or could reasonably be expected to know, that may affect the insurer's decision to insure you and on what terms. You have this duty until the insurer agrees to insure you. You have the same duty before you renew, extend, vary, or reinstate an insurance contract.

For Personal, Domestic and Household insurance contracts, you have an additional duty to take reasonable care not to make a misrepresentation to the insurer. To ensure you meet your duty, your responses to the insurer's questions must be truthful, accurate and complete.

IF YOU DO NOT TELL THE INSURER SOMETHING

If you do not tell the insurer anything you are required to, they may cancel your contract, or reduce the amount they will pay you if you make a claim, or both. If your failure to tell the insurer is fraudulent, they may refuse to pay a claim and treat the contract as if it never existed.
