Who needs motor trade insurance?
Motor trade insurance is built for businesses that buy, sell, service, repair, valet or MOT vehicles, from car dealers and mechanics to MOT centres, valeters and mobile traders. It covers full-time and part-time traders, and if you handle vehicles that belong to customers or the business, you need cover designed for the motor trade rather than a standard car insurance policy.
What is road risks insurance?
Road risks insurance lets you drive vehicles in connection with your business, including customers’ vehicles and stock. At minimum, third-party road risks cover is a legal requirement to drive these vehicles on public roads, which makes it the core of any motor trade policy. It can be arranged for a single person or a whole team.
