Our motor trade insurance policy

Definitions

  • Full time motor trade: Your sole source of income is through the motor trade business for which you are requesting an on-line quotation.
  • Part time motor trade: You are employed elsewhere. This means that your income is paid through the PAYE system and your employer pays additional National Insurance. You must not own/ operate another business or be self-employed outside the trade.
  • If you meet these qualifications our motor trade insurance policy may be right for you.

Premises cover

Unlike some policies our motor trade insurance policy will provide insurance for vehicles at home even if you do operate from home. We can also offer insurance limits from £7,500 to £20,000 per vehicle on our Comprehensive policy if you are full time or £10,000 if you are part time. (The sum insured f should be based on trade prices of your vehicles).

If you operate from premises and require additional cover for your  business we can quote you for a combined policy. We cannot, however provide such a quote online but would be only too pleased to do so if you contact us.

If you are in a similar occupation e.g. valet, panel beater, mechanic, motor engineer, tuner, servicer, repairer, breakdown/ accident recovery operators  and require motor trade insurance we have a similar policy which is restricted to your own vehicle(s) and allows you to drive other vehicles for up-keep, service or repair. Please ask for our motorserv  product.

If you obtain a quotation from the computer and it is not competitive or you do not qualify for it, please e-mail us (enquiries@portwood.co.uk) and we can use our expertise to obtain a fresh quotation.

Duty of disclosure

May we remind you that you have a duty of disclosure of all material facts when applying for any policy, at renewal or when they change. Examples of material facts for motor trade insurance would be: Non-motor convictions, specialisms in unusual vehicles - American, Vintage, Veteran Grey Imports etc. If you are doubt whether a fact is material it should be disclosed as failure to do so could affect your policy should you need to claim.
