Who for Trade Insurance

[Deleted member 13907]

Basically I'm 23, have had my license since I was 17 and own insurance on private car since I was 18. I have been doing valeting since I was 18 in my spare time and have also bought and sold a few cars. Want to make a bit more of a go at this, as I already have contacts, experience, etc (just lacking a bit of capital really) so am considering motor trade insurance for myself. Can anyone suggest any company who would take me on for a reasonable premium. I can add my dad, etc if that would help.

Give S.Rankins in Lisburn a call. They have been doing ours for 25 years.

Sort of exact same position as the OP. same age, details, clean licence 6 years 6 year ncb etc. All cars always been properly insured in my own name etc including the evo but i change cars a bit to often its getting boring constantly swapping the details over. Apparently gh bell are no longer giving trader to under 25's ?

I think a trader I work for is with GH Bell. I was a named driver for a while but then they said they couldn't insure me anymore. I think at that stage they would only insure over-23s, but that was just as a named driver.

What sort of figure could I expect? I wouldn't need a high value on my cover - the max. value would be 5-10k roughly.

minimum £1200ish for tpft upto 7k vehicles for your age

1200 quid would be such a saving for me a year.

Might need to enquire

I have had my traders policy with McGrady Insurance in Downpatrick for the last ten years. Good people with good service.

 

[Alan212]

hi , ring Campbell autoline 02870344321 have a very good policy with them

Alan212- used to be 18 then went to 21 ( for Amlin )

just my 2 p here,
if your a valet-er get a full business policy, IE to cover your work, goods in trasit( all your gear) and your customer cars(liability) then add on the car policy. the insurers look better on these policy's in my own opinion

i got the missus added last year, shes insured(25) for anything fully comp upto and including 2.0L (no vans) to a maximum of 20K the addon for the policy was .....................................

£47.00 yes it isnt a typo

give them a ring buddy hope it helps
