What is Motor Trade Insurance?
If you’re a business that requires you to drive a customer’s vehicle, store their vehicle on your business premises, or hold a vehicle in your care and control, you need a specialist motor traders insurance policy. Once a customer leaves their vehicle in your care, you become responsible for their vehicle and are legally required to hold at least third-party cover. If the vehicle is then damaged or stolen, a motor trade policy will financially cover you for the loss.
Our motor trade insurance can cover a wide variety of businesses from mobile mechanics to large motor dealerships. Our aim is to provide you with the reassurance that only comes with a programme specifically built for your motor trade business. This leaves you free to focus on looking after your clients and growing your business.
