Lambchop 4 Posted June 14, 2020 (edited) Does your insurance cover vandalism on forecourt cars? How much does it cost ? Is it separate to traders policy? Was wondering if it would be cheaper to fenceMy sales pitch or to pay for insurance on them. Edited June 14, 2020 by Lambchop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am not sure if you can now get good insurance cover for cars left out in the open.The last open pitch we had in the 80’s we could only get road risk cover which was far cheaper.We just used to budget a few grand per year for vandalism.However this was bread and butter stock.With open pitches you will always get some vandalism but we found together with the savings in business rates on open pitches and cheaper premiums,it worked out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can still get cover. I have an open forecourt and have cover with NIG. It' a separate policy to the road risks one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NIG,part of Direct Line Group,good luck with them should you need to claim.( Had to take DL to Ombudsman on a 2 grand straight forward and only claim in 20 years ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
