The benefits of buying a Motor Trade Insurance policy
The notion of selling, repairing or delivering motor vehicles without the invaluable protection of a Motor Trade Insurance policy in the UK engenders a heightened level of risk. For example, when in a rush to finish repairing a vehicle, it is easy to forget to tighten a wheel’s nuts. This oversight can easily cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle and to suffer injuries from the resulting accident. This makes Motor Trade businesses more vulnerable than most when it comes to claims being made by injured members of the public or even your own employees. Without the protection of a motor trade insurance policy, the cost of this accident has to be met by you, the owner of the business.
Motor trade businesses are also vulnerable against claims being made by customers, who might be injured as a result of an accident occurring on your premises, or because they had their car repaired by you and they claim that the brakes failed due to a bad repair job. As careful as you are when it comes to health and safety, it is still possible for mistakes to occur. If or when they do, it is important to be covered by a Motor Trade Insurance policy.
There are various other risks that a motor trade insurance policy protects your business against. Also due to the specific type of your trade and your location, you might be highly susceptible to vandalism. There is also theft, and accidental damage to your premises, your stock and your equipment to consider. A fire could break out, or your premises could be flooded. With all these potentialities to contend with, motor trade insurance policy is without any shadow of doubt a must.
This also equally applies to the part time motor trader. The policies are affordable and cheaper than you think.
