Tough call, not many traders on here I feel. Google may be helpful....

Hi,

Do you have your own work premises?

I have my first trade policy through Dave at MSM Insurance. It's fairly restricted but the service was very good. He's very helpful so worth a call IMO.

Rather than start a new thread, I’ll try and revive this. I need recommendations too!

I have personal insurance as most and trade insurance used to be covered and managed by another business I used to be part of. I now need a trade policy of my own that can cover for home and business premises.

My personal fleet has been insured with you for several years, longer than I care to remember. Your team advised you do trade insurance but, only with premises.

I am now in the same predicament with my recovery/curtainsider. Insurers now are saying I need trade insurance to carry my own vehicles at a horrendous cost. I do have a workshop/storage facility though. If I have to get trade insurance, I'll have to charge huge cartage costs to my friends :( Then it will have to be a business :rolleyes:

an odd one that. moving your own stuff and not a business and asking you for trade insurance. i would get a few second opinions

I’ve been with my broker for years, always impressed and great policy with a very competitive premium. A couple of garages I know also swooped and were impressed on both counts. Dm or ring me for details.

After quotes from £1200 - over £2500 to insurer the truck, I have remained with my current insurer. Trying to reduce my premiums with them, (which had doubled) they tried but the cost came back the same. So decided to stick with them anyway, mainly because they insurer my own loads, the big surprise was when they took the money 6 days prior, the premium was slightly more than last year :cool:

Just check that’s not what they’re taking monthly… when you thought it was the one off annual…:oops::eek:

Fwiw, the first sensible quote I got was from lifestyle broker tel: 0161 641 3229. Whereas Bentleys, Porsches, BMW M and Audi RS are a major headache for most insurers these guys blew the others away and whilst I’ve not needed it, test drive insurance was so little I added that to the policy quote.

I need to contact Star’s broker and Norton Insurance brokers too.
