What is Part-Time Traders insurance?

If you buy and sell, service or repair vehicles, having motor trade insurance is a legal requirement. This is no different from full-time traders. No matter how your operations are set up or how much time you dedicate to your motor trade business, you will still typically need a road risks policy. You can then build in other covers depending on how your business operates e.g. if you work with many vehicles, hire staff or work with the public.

As your business expands, we can stay with you. We can offer you traders combined cover, for example, as you move to a lock-up garage or storage facility.

Are you working in the motor trade industry on a part-time basis? If so, a tailored policy with ChoiceQuote for your part-time trader insurance could be just right for you.

While saving you money, this level of cover will still provide you with the necessary protection for different aspects of your business.

Many traders end up choosing road risk only insurance as a minimum; however, you may need more than this to cover all of your assets. Whether you are selling or repairing vehicles, part-time trader insurance is designed for:

  • Individuals juggling another profession outside their motor trade business.
  • Covering vehicles on and off-site, as well as personal vehicles.
  • Protecting your motor trade business assets.
  • Allowing you to register vehicles with the Motor Insurance Database (MID).
