Motor Vehicle Insurance

ECU provides insurance cover only for vehicles maintained in the University’s fleet. This cover does not extend to privately owned vehicles, even if they are being used for university travel.

Any vehicle hired by staff or students for business purposes must be obtained in accordance with ECU’s vehicle hiring policy, which can be found at the Finance and Business Services Preferred Supplier web pages. If you hire a vehicle you must take out the insurance cover through the hire company.

Vehicles hired by our staff or students in Australia, for ECU business, should only be hired from ECU preferred suppliers.

If you are hiring a vehicle to use for University purposes, and the hire company vehicle insurance will not extend to those activities (including, but not limited to: use of vehicle on non-gazetted roads or remote, 4WD activities), please contact the the Enterprise Risk Team immediately as cover may be available through the University insurance program.  Cover must be reviewed and accepted PRIOR to the vehicle hire commencing.

Preferred Suppliers

ECU has preferred suppliers for goods and services.  You can review preferred suppliers list through the Strategic Procurement webpage.

Claims

In the event of a motor vehicle accident, please refer to the claims page for guidance.  All incidents, hazards, accidents or near-misses should be logged in Riskware.
