It’s easy, just ring us and one of our motor-trade ‘buy-right’ experts will talk to you about your insurance needs. We’ll then find you an insurer that we feel is ideally placed to provide you with the right level of cover – at the right price.
We have a particular understanding of premises-based motor traders following a long association with one of the UK’s leading car breakdown clubs.
We’ll provide you with all the contacts you need to help manage your insurance arrangements – policy administration, claims matters, regular reviews, risk management support if needed, and in due course, the renewal process.
Almost all our motor trade clients choose us to look after not just their road risks insurance, but their entire insurance portfolio too; covers such as property and liability, and often a range of other covers too.
We like to make things as affordable as we can so, if you fulfil the necessary qualifying criteria, we can arrange for you to pay by monthly instalments (subject to acceptance).
