Motor Trade Insurance and You
Is motor insurance actually right for you? Find out if this flexible form of insurance is right for you with our handy Motor Trade Insurance Guide.
What is Motor Trade Insurance?
Motor Trade Insurance is a specialised form of insurance, designed for people who work in the motor industry. While the name might suggest it is only for motor traders, or people involved in sales, this is actually a broader form of insurance. Motor Trade Insurance also covers mechanics and vehicle recovery agents. It is also suitable for people who move cars, such as valeters and car jockeys.
Do I Need Motor Trade Insurance?
If you work in the motor trade, you will probably need to drive people’s cars on public roads. In the motor trade, however, it is unlikely that you will be able to know what car you will be working on from one day to the next. Motor Trade Insurance allows you to remain covered, without tying you to specific vehicles.
What Does it Cover?
Our policies are flexible. We offer different levels of cover, depending on what you need to be covered. At the most basic level, we can cover road risk only motor insurance. This allows you to be covered purely against the risks of moving a car on the public roads. We also offer liability cover. This protects you in case you become legally liable for an incident. Our policies can also cover you for the things you use – such as your tools and equipment.
What Can’t We Cover?
Motor Trade Insurance policies are fundamentally different than regular car insurance policies. Most insurers won’t allow you to use a regular car insurance policy for motor trade purposes. Being caught using regular insurance for motor trade would be treated the same as having no insurance at all.
