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).

Frequently Asked Questions
Road risk vs combined motor trade insurance – what’s the difference?
Road risks insurance is the minimum legal requirement for motor traders and is suited to smaller traders, mostly operating from home. This could protect you against losses arising from incidents on the public roads, such as collisions with other vehicles. Motor trade combined insurance protects you against road risks and includes cover for your business premises (rented or owned), damage to bodywork or theft of a vehicle, and theft of tools or money from your property.Can I use motor trade insurance as a personal policy?
Motor trade insurance cover is designed for people who work in the trade and need to drive customers' cars, e.g. for road testing or recovery purposes. It should not be used as a personal 'any car' insurance policy. If you need insurance to drive any car but you are not in the motor trade, we may still be able to find you the best cover.What if I work part-time in the motor trade?
Part-time motor traders still need appropriate insurance cover. We can help you to find the right motor trade policy, whether you're full-time, part-time, still in training, work from home or on a mobile basis.
