We’re giving you the chance to win a £500 Abingdon King Dick Tools voucher!* All you have to do is ask for a quote for your motor trade policy, but you better be quick, the competition closes on 28th February!

Traders’ insurance ensures that motor trade business owners and employees are covered when storing, driving or working on customer vehicles.

A benefit of a traders’ policy is that it can cover all staff to drive customer vehicles, as well as any new starters to the business.

In order to take out a policy with Road Runner, you’ll first need to show that you are trading for business purposes and for income, not leisure, either full or part-time and based in the UK. You’ll also have to fulfil the following criteria for a quote:

  • All drivers are aged between 23 and 69, UK based
  • Hold a full license in the EU for at least one year
  • No criminal convictions not spent

(Our full criteria can be found below)

What does a motor trader insurance policy cover?

With Road Runner, your policy is tailored to your requirements, but generally the covers include:

Road risks insurance: If you look after customer vehicles, then road risk cover is essential. You can choose road risk cover which is comprehensive, third-party, or third-party, fire and theft.

Liability insurance: This covers you against any claims made by customers or members of the public who may be visiting your workshop. Motor trade liability insurance can cover:

  • Employers’ Liability, which protects your business against claims from staff, both driving and non-driving staff members.
  • Product Liability, which offers protection should you have to work on a customer’s vehicle, for instance fitting parts on to a car which then are defective.

Combined motor trade insurance: a combined traders’ insurance policy considers road risks, tools and equipment as well as any trading premises you are operating from. Speak to the Road Runner team to find out how we can help.
