Im 25 and its £980...


If you are a car trader have a look through the back of the Glasses Guide and theres loads of trade companies.

You'll be lucky if you get much better than what you've been quoted IMO.

lol yeah but if he did trade he would know how to get a traders policy

i have a traders policy, but wouldnt just hand hand out the info to get one to anyone cus then every 18 yr old would try to insure a cossie for cheap.
i trade and need it so will do anything to keep the amount of people off it claiming

theres a reason he dont know and its because he dont need to

Out of interest, what do all these trade policies cover that are under a grand?

I'm 29, my old mans 60 [and held a traders policy for over 30 years], the salesmans 60 and ours is fucking thousands

We're with Norwich Union if you want to try them?

My motor traders policy was renewed three weeks ago at £2900 which was £700 cheaper than last years,

That insures my bussiness (small garage two ramps three full time mechanics) my cossie my two vans my rs2000 , my wifes streetKA

customers liability , employers liability. contents the lot

Thats with norwich union
