Mechanic insurance that covers you wherever you’re working

Whether you’re a car mechanic based mainly in a workshop with a team of mechanics, or a one-person mobile mechanic going out on a job to a customer’s location, you and your vehicle repair business need decent and comprehensive motor mechanic cover and protection.

From the cost of replacing lost or damaged tools (that’s what our mechanic’s tool cover is for) through to the worry of a possible public or employee liability claim, to the expense of repairing engine cranes and axel stands, Road Runner can help sort it.

At Road Runner, our car mechanic insurance cover options include:

  • Motor mechanics insurance cover for vehicles in your care, custody, and control for motor trade purposes
  • Products liability and mechanic liability insurance to protect your mechanic’s enterprise against third party claims – fake or not
  • Tool insurance, including those left overnight at premises
  • Mechanic insurance cover for your customers’ vehicles that you keep at commercial premises. Our ‘Vehicles at Business Premises’ extension can cover these
  • We offer mechanic insurance cover for vehicles in transit, so when you collect and return a customer’s motor, you can extend cover to a comprehensive road risks policy, providing the same car mechanic insurance cover for the vehicles being transported
  • Other equipment for the job, such as plant, machinery, stock, and portable hand tools kept in your van
  • Car mechanic insurance cover for your workshop or garage premises if you have them. This could include your mechanic liability cover and a range of extra (but recommended) options to protect you and your business
  • No Claims Bonus protection. When you take out motor mechanic insurance cover with Road Runner, you can choose to pay an extra premium to keep the number of years of No Claims Bonus you’ve earned, in the event of a claim where insurers cannot recover their losses. This can be a significant long-term saving and worth paying a little extra to protect. (Terms apply – see your policy booklet or summary of cover for more details.)
