Trade insurance - renewal time?

Recommended Posts

Can anyone make a recommendation. My usual suspects have all let me down this week by promising to call and 'forgetting'. Nobody seems to want my money?

So any recommendations?

Cheers:)

Bollingtons are winning the race at the As we enter the last furlong! Last year I was still ‘negotiating’ on the day the policy expired at 12 noon! :D

Another vote for Ashley good lad very helpful so is @John Cook - Aston Lark Very helpful both worth a shot 

I've used think insurance and never had any problems with them a few times though a few here have said negative things and also towergate who were slightly more expensive but seemed to offer a better level of cover ..

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

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’ve been with DNA for a few years but I always shop around and it usually ends up as a last minute ‘negotiation’! Bollingtons were very competitive this year when previously they weren’t. I’ve also noticed how the insurance companies are bearing down a little. Searching your phone number on line to see what ads you’re running. As a home trader, asking for photographic evidence that you actually have the room to store the cars you say you can etc. When previously I’d not had to. Funny because back in the day trade insurance was very difficult to obtain and I wonder if that’s the direction things are heading back in?

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.
