Western Sydney is a major hub for transport, logistics, and automotive services. Operating heavy vehicles, managing large-scale warehousing, or servicing customer cars carries substantial financial and operational risk. A major accident, damaged freight, or a fire in the workshop can bring your operations to an immediate halt.
Based right here in Penrith, NCB Insurance provides tailored commercial insurance packages for the industrial and automotive sectors across Greater Sydney and New South Wales. We understand the high-stakes nature of your industry and offer the precise, robust protection required to keep your vehicles on the road, your supply chain moving, and your workshop secure.
The fast-paced hospitality industry requires comprehensive protection against customer accidents, food poisoning claims, and critical equipment failures. If your commercial fridge breaks down, you lose valuable stock and trading time. We tailor hospitality packages to cover liability, property damage, and the machinery that keeps your kitchen running, whether you operate a local café or a mobile food truck.

Managing a distribution centre involves a lot of moving parts. You need comprehensive protection against catastrophic property events (like fire or storm damage), stock loss, and liability claims arising from heavy lifting or machinery operations. We build comprehensive policies that secure your physical assets, protect third-party stock, and ensure your supply chain remains resilient.
Generally, no. Standard commercial motor policies cover the vehicle itself if it is involved in an accident or stolen. To protect the actual items or freight you are transporting against damage, theft, or loss during the journey, you need a specific Marine Transit or Goods in Transit policy.
A standard Public Liability policy usually excludes property that is in your "physical and legal control." Auto trades require a specific policy extension (often referred to as 'Customer Vehicles in Care, Custody, and Control') to ensure you are covered if a customer's vehicle is damaged, vandalised, or stolen while left at your premises.
Similar to the above, standard liability does not automatically cover you while operating a client's vehicle on public roads. Mechanics and auto electricians need a Driving Risk extension to cover accidents that occur while road-testing a vehicle after repairs.
Usually, no. Forklifts, order pickers, and motorized pallet jacks are classified as Mobile Plant and Machinery. Because they are driven and operate under high risk, they require their own specialised cover to protect against physical damage, theft, and specific third-party liabilities (such as a forklift dropping a pallet and injuring a visitor).
If a fire or severe storm damages your distribution centre, your property insurance will cover the cost to rebuild. However, it will not pay your ongoing bills while you cannot operate. Business Interruption insurance covers your lost revenue and ongoing fixed expenses (like rent, payroll, and loan repayments) while your business facility is being repaired or relocated.
