Broader motor trade protection

Combined Motor Trade Insurance Explained Clearly

A combined policy can bring road risks, premises, tools, customer vehicles and liability protection together around the way your business actually operates.

General pre-launch information only. Cover will depend on the insurer, policy wording and your circumstances.

The basic difference

More than cover for driving vehicles

Road risk insurance is mainly concerned with vehicles driven for motor trade purposes. A combined motor trade policy may add protection for the premises, business contents, machinery, tools, customer vehicles left in your custody, liabilities and interruption following insured damage.

The right structure depends on your activities, property, staffing, vehicle movements and contractual responsibilities.
