Why get Car Body Shop Insurance through Jensten Motor Trade?
As well as flexible, quality cover, Body Shop and Auto Repair Insurance through Jensten Motor Trade offers you the following benefits:
- Dedicated in-house claims service
- Service from quote to claim
- Legal liability insurance
- Road risk-only options
- The option of comprehensive, third-party fire and theft or third-party only cover
Is Car Body Shop Insurance a legal requirement?
Elements are compulsory. If you are going to drive vehicles on the road, you will need a road risks element to your policy. You’ll also need Employers’ Liability Insurance (EL Insurance) if you employ staff within your business and engineering inspection service if you service or repair vehicles.
Am I insured to drive any car on a Motor Trade Insurance policy?
Yes, but only in connection with the business if it is owned by the business or is in custody or control of your motor trade business. It may be more cost-effective to limit the covers to keep your premium down.
What's the difference between Road Risks Insurance and Traders' Combined Insurance?
While these policies may look the same, road risks only covers driving vehicles on the road. Traders combined insurance, on the other hand, can offer a much wider range of essential protections, such as premises, material damage cover and liabilities amongst others.
How can I cut the cost of my Car Body Shop Insurance?
There are several ways of cutting Body Shop Insurance costs, including:
- Limit the number of employees on your road risks policy
- Building up your no-claims bonus
- Employing drivers with low or no motoring convictions or claims
- Making sure your premises (if you have any) are secure and have CCTV/a web-based security system
- Always use an independent broker such as Jensen Motor Trade. A specialist independent Motor Trade Insurance broker will have the knowledge to ensure you get the body shop insurance quote you need and can do the shopping around for you.
