motor trade insurance

Anyone know of any cheap traders insurance?

im currently insured with think motor trade insurance, pretty resonable if i do say so, 4 years no claims on a car and 2 years motor trade no claim, £650 fully comp

I got a quote a few weeks back through Tradex for working from a garage & mobile and the sods came back with over £2000.

Think what they are trying to do is weed out the playtime trader bunch.

Going to try that Think Motor Trade Insurance - Thanks for the info BigClarky.

We have ours through Pace Ward they were the best for us

What's your conditions?

I'm due for renewal the back end of Novemeber and always thought a traders policy would be better suited to me - I usually change cars between 3-6 months because of bordem but didn't look into it properly because i dont have my own business....yet i do BUY the cars...use them....then SELL them?!

could somebody please give me a rough guideline as to how they do/dont work for joe public per say - or how the rules can be ever so slightly massaged to work for joe public?!

cheers for the imput guys

am gunna look into anutha traders policy next week.

tryed 4 weeks ago, but soon as a said 98% ov cars i work on wer subaru they didnt want too no

might have too tell a few little lies next time

a lad at work says he uses trade wise? £500 a year it costs him

nearly all trader polics wont let joe public use them ,I had tp be over 25 lol I had to prove i was trade before they'd quote and owning a scooby was a nightmare if anything happens to my own car i get trade value -20%. They'll cover any car i drive fully comp but only let me put the wagon on after 2yrs been insured by them and refused to put the Sti on it, Cost me about a grand/year due to having a 7 1/2 ton recovery truck

i am with trade wise 0 no claims pay 900 this year i went through search engine quote me today and all i said was part time and home mechanic its not far from truth and they not botherer how many cars etc like sum i have had in the past wanting min off 12 cars per year on there policy as i said was buying and selling from the door

did you tell them ya had a impreza

Same probs with me it was a nightmare when I was under 25 with a scoob on only one company would touch it , yal find it hard to get one that insures a import scooby I've had to got through a brokers I'l have a look Nd see who I'm with I pay 1100 with 5yrs no claims

people think its the cheap way to insure scoobys but its not most wont cover ya owning a impreza turbo or evo and if they do they shaft ya with price and if ya have a claim you get bottom book minus a percentage of that of the value, i was told last renewal that all trader polics are not covering people under 25 and without proof of being in the motor trade as a ocupation to stop joe bod getting trade policies

yeah mate i did its on policy and put keiths on when we picked up from finns i have had no problems with them at all and i am 30 i actually said that that this was me own car aswell so would be on policy all the time no probs never asked any more about it

I was wanting one so I can get a cheap run around for work but might just stick to the normal insurance

long gone are the days of good deals on trader policies, most wont entertain the likes of subarus, i pay over 2k, a mate buys n sells cars for a living, him and his bro, theyv been with same company 4 years, theyv just bought an impreza to sell and really struggling to get any cover atall on it

mine is down to 1200 this year with 3 years no claims (motor trade) with DNA insurance and i made sure it covered my import impreza
