Traders policy
Hi guys need some info on traders policy. The situation is a mate is planning on opening one and would add his son to the policy who is only 18. I know you can add SD&P for an additional fee which is what he is planning on.
Can someone forward on all pro's and con's and this is something we know nothing about and all Google really shows up is companies advertising insurance. Cheers Adam |
Is your mate a genuine trader, and does his son work with/for him.... or is he just after a cheap policy?

PM sent moley
Anyone delt with a traders policy? |
Tradex will do it but your looking an additional £2000 on top of the older driver price easily and engine cc restriction to 1.4

Avoid Tradex, and Tradewise.
As above, make sure it is a legitimate business otherwise it is worthless. Bear in mind that whatever cars you intend on driving will only be insured for trade prices, so if it goes missing you will get bottom book price for it. Oh, and any no claims you earn with a traders policy are not generally accepted outside of the trade, so if and when you go back to domestic insurance, any no claims will be worthless. |

The business will consist of car valeting, repairs, breakers, deliveries, sales ect and will be ran from a garage.
There will be a variety of different types of vehicles on the policy from vans to scoobys. Taxes will be payed. Also if you buy a car do you notify the company so it wont come up as uninsured everytime the plod drives by? cheers |
Tradewise are sh1te, I'm stuck with them for another year though by the looks of it as they are alot cheaper than other quotes I have had, most others wont even cover me for half the stuff Tradewise will, tried Tradex and they wanted £700 more, if it gets any dearer I'll sell my van and tools and pack it in, as said though, if your just after a cheap policy and not a legit business then I wouldn't bother, if you hit someone they won't pay out leaving you proper in the deep end, I also got pulled once in a customers skyline, they wanted me to prove I was using it for trade purposes related to my business and phoned the customer, the Police and Insurers are pretty clued up on it all now and know the score.

What about adding social, domestic and pleasure to the policy?
Obviously being the policy holder I am covered for that, I did have an emplyee for a while who I let use the van and had s,d&p including trade for him, cost me about £300 extra, he was 30 years old though and as far as I'm aware it didn't cover him for any vehicles owned by him, He would of had to have his own policy for that. |

I have been with tradex for about 7 years, and had a couple of bumps,wife ran into the back of a merc, and i had a barrier fall on me in croatia,and touch wood not had any problems.
I think the key to it is as above, you need to have social, domestic, pleasure, and to and from work for the wife (she has a different job) and they provide her with another certificate for that vehicle, and detail all the vehicles, cost me around £700 atm. I have not done anything in the trade for about 4yrs as i'm doing other projects at the moment, but will go back as and when i'm done out here. This has made me think i need to have a word with them come renewal time. |
