CupertinoPark 1 Posted December 5, 2019 Hello all. I am 17 and want to trade cars. Is there any way that I can legally do this with insurance because it seems like all trade insurance policies are for 18+. Any ideas? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mojo121 229 Posted December 5, 2019 Dont know. Admire your attitude though. Will be expensive, that's for sure. Tradex are normally the ones for younger traders. Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By trading cars do you mean retailing them to the public or wholesaling to the trade.I would imagine all you will get is crap basic cover from some dodgy provider,we’ve all done that.BTW,I like your Tag name .I am guessing you are from somewhere like Croydon !

David Horgan 564 Posted December 5, 2019 Hi First of all congratulations regarding starting out in business young fella , well done . Insurance is very difficult at your age , but get a parent to put it in their name with you as a named user to start with , did this with my son at 17 COVEA did us a good deal with him as a driver and me at the head of the policy when he started , limited him to 2.5 litre cars and only 600cc bikes till he was 19 , then we found better companies and we were off and running . All the very best with the future of the new venture , its fun , its hard work , its a challenge at times , but anything is possible with the right frame of mind . Cheers David 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Technically yes but what you could do is add your parent to the business as a business partner even as a volunteer part time and cover both drivers that way therefore not really having a main driver might be a loophole Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
