Which type of Motor Traders insurance cover is right for my business?

When determining the type of Motor Traders cover that is right for your business, think about the types of risks you need to be covered for.

Internal Motor Traders insurance provides cover for loss or damage to vehicles whilst on the premises of the insured business.

You may, for example, run a dealership, and regularly need to move vehicles between display bays on your property. However, while being moved, this vehicle could collide with another one, resulting in serious damage to both cars.

External Motor Traders insurance provides cover for loss or damage to vehicles not kept on your premises.

If you own a vehicle repair business, for example, and an employee of yours is involved in an accident while test driving a client’s vehicle following the repair, you, as the employer, can be held liable for the damage caused to the vehicle in your care.

Besides the list of standard perils, you can also choose to add cover for towing and recovery or roadside assistance.
