Road risk insurance is a legal requirement when driving vehicles in connection with your business, such as a customer vehicle left with you for fault diagnosis, repair or sale.

Vehicle stock insurance

Protects against theft, fire and flood risks to vehicles kept on your premises overnight.

Engineering inspection cover

Provides cover for certified safety assessments of the equipment you use in your trade.

Loss of MOT licence insurance

Specialist cover for garages covering the loss by the policyholder of a DVSA MOT testing licence.

Business Premises insurance**

Available whether you lease or own your business premises, this covers the structure of your building(s), fixed assets such as MOT and alignment lifts and loss of trade through business interruption caused by an insured event such as fire, flood, theft or vandalism.

If you own your own premises, this will cover the rebuild or repair costs.

If you lease your premises it can cover improvements you have made and liabilities to your landlord under your lease agreement.

Service & sales indemnity insurance

This covers against claims of injury or accidental damage following the fitting of parts or sale of a vehicle.

Business interruption insurance

Business interruption cover protects against losses caused if you are unable to access your premises due to fire, flooding, natural disaster or other specified perils.

Employers' liability insurance

Legally required for all businesses (except sole traders), employers liability insurance ensures that your business is protected from legal and settlement costs arising from an employee's claim for a work-related injury or illness.

Public liability insurance

Whilst not legally required, it’s best practice to secure public liability insurance as it protects against claims arising if someone is injured, dies or suffers loss or damage to their property through the actions of your business. £1-£10 million+ cover options.

Directors & officers’ insurance

D&O insurance protects you against claims made against your business’s principals rather than the business itself.
