Carrying a passenger with the load.

We have a client wishing to send some equipment from London To Durham.<br>The manager also wants to travel with the equipment. <br>I am trying to work out how this would work insurance wise.<br>Is the equipment the job and the person is being carried free of charge as a courtesy?<br>Is the person classed as a passenger as in hire and reward?<br>Hmm i think i had better call our broker as we haven't come across this before.<br>

He won't be insured i'm afraid, all you can do is point that out to them, and as long as they're aware its then up to you whether you wanna take him

I actually agree with Speed&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; :)<br>

Also doubt your driver would be over the moon having to travel with a stranger!<br>

I did think about a disclaimer, <br>The job is 2 way London to Durham on Thursday and returning on Saturday.<br>We have done alot of the equipment jobs but without the passenger.<br>

just a thought&nbsp; .............&nbsp; charge the price of a Train ticket extra<br><br>They are obviously looking at the 'cheap' option<br>

You really need to check with your insurance company&nbsp; -&nbsp; ours allows us to carry passengers along with their goods just so long as we do NOT charge extra for them.<br>

i got nicked in Belguim other week for running on cruise 100 euro fine the copper could see i had my foot on the bottle holder (Transit) lucky he hadnt seem me 20 minutes earlier as my other half was giving me a b/j !&nbsp; so no dont carry passengers lol !
