Car Valeting Insurance

Valeters’ Insurance is specialist cover for those who valet customers’ vehicles. Whether you work from home, a premises or are mobile. And whether you’re full or part-time.

From a straightforward exterior wash to an interior deep clean, things may go wrong on the job; equipment may break or go missing, or someone could get hurt. This cover is dedicated to the specific risks you’ll face as a valeter. With the correct cover, you and your valeting business are protected from most outcomes and eventualities.

It’s sensible to opt for dedicated Car Valet Insurance if you’re a valeter. This will make sure your cover is tailored to the risks that come with the job.

You’ll need a policy that’s built around the needs of your business. Whether you’re looking for fixed-location or mobile Valeting Insurance, a good policy will cater for all your business’ quirks.

Along with protecting yourself from the risks faced by all self-employed traders across the UK, you’ll need to consider:

• The need to insure your customers’ vehicles so you have at least the minimum cover required by law
• The additional risks if a customer’s vehicle is left with you overnight
• The possibility of an accident involving a member of the public where you’re working
• The value of goods, plant, machinery, stock, and portable hand tools you keep in your premises or van

At Road Runner, we get to know you and your business so we can build a policy based on your exact needs. We make sure you have everything you need to make an informed decision on your cover.

Public Liability Insurance isn’t a legal requirement for car valeters, but having cover in place is usually suggested. Here are a few reasons why:

• If a customer slips at your premises, or trips over your equipment while you’re working on their vehicle, Public Liability Insurance provides you with robust protection.
• It can cover legal costs, compensation and other expenses associated with liability claims.
• It gives peace of mind, so you can operate without liability concerns.
• And if a customer or visitor lodges a false claim, this cover is also an invaluable tool for your defence.

You need Valeting Insurance to cover the specific risks that come with running a car valeting business. The cover can extend across your whole business, covering everything from your and your customers’ vehicles, to your premises, equipment and tools.

From family hatchbacks to fast-track Ferraris, you’ll always want to take the best care of clients’ vehicles. Which is why, in case anything doesn’t go according to plan, you can fall back on Car Valet Insurance from Road Runner.   

We pride ourselves on the personal touch. We not only appreciate the different needs of your service compared with other trades in the motor trade industry, but also recognise that no two car valeting businesses are the same. So with us you’ll get the cover you need.
