1) How much is car traders insurance?
You can expect to pay between £600 and £1,000 if you are an experienced motor trade business. As with all insurance it depends greatly on your personal details as new Motor Traders obtaining Motor Trade insurance for the first time need to expect to pay more than this.
2) Do Motor Trade policies cover your own private car?
Motor Trade insurance policies do allow you to include your own private car on the insurance policy, providing that the type of vehicle is acceptable to the insurance company. As a Motor Trade insurance policy generally only insures vehicles at their trade sales value, rather than retail sales value, then you will need to take this difference into account.
3) What is the difference between a Motor Traders and Fleet insurance?
A Motor Trade insurance is only available to a person, or persons actively operating within the Motor Trade industry for a profit. Vehicles can be added to a Motor Trade insurance as and when they are bought and sold. A Fleet insurance is for companies or individuals with a large number of vehicles which are used in connection with a business or as a family fleet.
4) What does Motor Trade insurance cover?
The basic Motor Trade Insurance policy would cover you whilst driving on the road third party only whilst using your own vehicle or a vehicle you are in the custody or control of. Your insurance documents would confirm the terms of the insurance cover.
5) Can I drive any car on a Motor Traders insurance?
You are not allowed to just drive any car under a Motor Trade insurance policy like a family or friends car. You must declare at the start of your Motor Trade insurance what types of vehicles you will be dealing with i.e. standard family cars, sports/high performance, modified, previously written off, etc and then the car must either be your own or held in trust or in the custody or control of you for the purposes of your declared Motor Trade business.
6) How many cars can I have on a Motor Traders policy?
Your insurance company or insurance broker may assess how many vehicles you have parking space for at the declared address and limit your insurance policy to this.
7) Will I need to prove that I am a Motor Trader?
Yes, you will need to supply proof that you are an active in the Motor Trade by providing such documents as purchase and sales receipts, parts receipts, invoices for work carried out, etc. Even if you are a new to the trade or part time trader then your insurance company will require proof but may extend the time limit for this to be supplied.
