Service, repair and MOT garage insurance

Road risks insurance covers you to drive customer vehicles, and other vehicles in connection with your business (e.g. breakdown recovery trucks). You are covered for the trade value of vehicles on a third-party, third-party fire and theft, or comprehensive basis.

Traders combined insurance brings together covers for everything else you need. This includes business premises, tools, equipment, money kept on-site, public and employers’ liability, product liability, and more. You can also get specialist cover for loss of your MOT licence.

How much does garage insurance cost?

Road risks only insurance starts from as little as £8.73 a week. However, you are likely to need the extra covers that a traders combined policy can offer to cover your garage.

There are lots of factors affecting the cost of your policy, including:

• Business age
• Business location
• The services your garage provides
• Any existing no-claims bonus, and much more.

ChoiceQuote works with you to make sure you have the garage insurance you need. Every business is different. We’ll find out what your garage does, so we know the cover you require. We’ll then search our panel of insurers for the best deal we can find for you. Call us for your own, personal quote.

Does garage insurance cover contents too?

Yes, if you take out a traders combined policy, you can get cover for tools stored on-site, machinery, and money kept on your premises.

A separate engineering inspection policy can be purchased to ensure the safety of your equipment for workers, too.

Traders combined policies can also cover a stock of vehicles, in case you buy or sell vehicles as a part of your business. If you keep vehicles on-site, speak to us about this cover.

Whatever items or machinery you keep in your garage premises, let us know and we’ll see if they can be covered for you.

Business interruption insurance

There are all kinds of things that can go wrong when you own a garage. The last thing you want is to suffer a catastrophic fire and be out of business for a while, for example.

This is where business interruption insurance can help your garage. Helping you to recover lost income while you are unable to trade, you can gain reassurance that you won’t lose out financially should insured risks beyond your control stop your business from operating normally.
