Horsebox insurance generally covers the vehicle itself rather than the horses inside it. Protection for the horses is usually arranged separately under equine insurance policies. It is important to ensure both the vehicle and the animals being transported have suitable cover in place.
Breakdown cover is not generally included as standard and may depend on the insurer or policy selected. Where included, it can provide roadside assistance or recovery if the horsebox cannot continue due to a mechanical or electrical issue.

Drivers are responsible for ensuring they hold the correct entitlement before using the vehicle.
Horsebox insurance premiums are influenced by factors such as the horsebox’s value, age, size and storage arrangements. Insurers also assess driver experience, annual mileage and claims history. These elements help determine the overall risk profile presented when arranging cover.
Additional drivers can often be added to a horsebox insurance policy, subject to insurer approval. Each driver is assessed individually based on age, driving history and licence type.
