    Think most do I only ever seen one policy like it and that was said boss that was back in2003/2004 time so no even sure such a policy would exist now or by who it was with no on speaking terms now after a few fall outs don’t know if any insurance companies or brokers would do it now I taxed a few cars with it for the garage or I wouldn’t have believed it myself had I not seen it with my own eyes but would love a policy like that I guess you could get anything if you pay high cost he was a wealthy guy possibly a millionaire now after selling up and retiring 

    There a few on here worth speaking to @John Cook - Aston Lark And @Ashley@UKGlobal might be able to help you out sure there’s others here too but I’ve spoke to both of these guys personally and can vouch that both are extremely very helpful.. 

    Thanks Casper :)

    Hello there Lads 

    Was wondering what you fellas are currently paying for your Motor Trade policy as I’m due a renewal soon and just want to see what the market is like. 
     

    currently paying £4700 with an any driver policy for trade, me and missus on for social and son 19 on for trade only.

    @Marian TDM

    Last year I had to pay 2400£ with bollington as part time trader from home and 10k max value. 

    This year DNA insuance quoted me 1400£ when bollington is asking 2k. 

    =============

    That £1400 sounds like a nice reduction, is the max value still £10k ?

    The problem I get is that I store most of the cars in the unit we prep them in and bring them back to my home for viewing once they're ready, mostly now 'by appointment' viewings when any buyer unknown to me asks to see/buy a car.

    I'm currently with Aston Lark, who started out very competitive, but last year made a lot of fuss saying that cars were only insured at my business premises, so the cost took quite a hike.

    Unfortunately I'd left it too late to start speaking to others, but in when my renewal comes up in January, I'll certainly spend more time shopping around.

    I'm happy to personally take a look at your renewal when it comes up. Drop me a message with your company name and I'll make a note to catch-up with you in December.

    Seems a few are getting crazy renewal quotes recently , while we've been struggling they've still had their coin , only be loyal if they're being loyal , I went over to Road Runner / Aston Lark can't fault their service so far hopefully I will feel the same next year , they went out their way to help out .

    Glad to read your feedback, please always feel free to reach out if I can help with anything.

    Just had a telephone call from Aston Lark insurance informing me policy is due beginning of May. I placed my business with them last year after an introduction via the IMDA membership and to be fair they came back with a very good quote using NIG together with a few little sweetners, 0% finance on all monthly payments, anyone can drive on my policy with my permission for business use, handy when you can rope a few people in to drive stuff back from the auctions. It would appear now though they have kicked NIG into touch and all future business is going through AXA. I have not a had a renewal quote as of yet but as we are all sitting at home trying to keep ourselves busy now is an ideal to have a bit ring around to get some additional quotes.

    Any recommendations for a decent reliable broker?

    Any recommendations for brokers? I've been with Tradewise through Think insurance for a couple of years but I'm looking at £2700 to renew with 3 of us on there. Previous year to that was £1300 with policyplan (who weren't great to be honest) With 5 years NCB, hoping I can get this down a bit!

    TIA

    I've just written a tale about offshore insurers similar to what you have just put but decided not to post it

    I recommend a named name because it's an insurance policy ie you are looking for assurance in insurance more than just filling a legal duty

     

    Very good advice! There's been a few horror stories in the last few years and highly likely to continue in the next few years.
