Contractors All Risk Insurance

Protecting construction works against sudden and accidental loss

Contractors All Risk (CAR) Insurance is a project-specific policy covering physical loss or damage to contract works caused by sudden and unforeseen events at the site. The cover applies during the construction phase and may include third-party liability, subject to policy terms and exclusions.

Who Should Consider Contractors All Risk Insurance
