Information About Traders Policies

[Stuarty]

Alright, is there anybody on here with a traders insurance policy? I'm not sure if this is allowed but is it possible to have a traders policy to drive any car just on your own or does it have to be under a business of some sort?

What it is, i'm mechanic and fix a lot of my mates cars as homers and it would make it much easier for me if i was able to drive there cars saving them and me time and hassle.

Just wanted to know if its possible and if it is find out a little bit more about it and are there a lot dearer than a standard insurance policy.

Alot of the insurance companies will look for proof of you been a owner of a garage, vat no. and all the rest but you can get around this if you go thru a broker. If your under 25 expect a big premium. This is my experience here in Ireland but it might be different for you mate as your in the UK.

i had a traders policy when i was 23 as it was cheaper than insuring the car i had at the time and i could drive anything,the company was tradex,give them a shout,you do not need to be in the trade to be insured with them .
