“I always recommend Devitt to other traders”
What type of Motor Trade Policy do I need?
Certain insurances are required by law, such as third party vehicle insurance and, if you have employees, employer’s liability insurance. Other insurance covers are recommended to protect you and your business and to ensure business continuity in the event of a claim, for example; your stock of vehicles or accessories, public liability, service indemnity, loss of profits, fixtures/fittings and contents.
When purchasing motor trade insurance, it’s important to know the cover is there not just for the small claims but for the large ones too so that you and your business can recover fully.
What does a Motor Trade Policy consist of?
Ordinarily, a motor trade policy consists of two sections, a Road Risks section and an Internals section.
Road Risks – Cover to drive vehicles on the public highway for motor trade purposes, you can include social, domestic and pleasure cover for your own vehicles too. You’ll tell us about the people you want to drive and the types of vehicles you’ll need to use.
Internals – Here’s where you’ll tell us about how much cover you require for your buildings, contents, stock, liabilities, business interruption, engineering inspection, machinery, tools and anything else you might need.
