What does MOT Station Insurance cover?

While every MOT Garage Insurance policy owner’s needs will be different, there are some common risks that each garage shares. Our Motor Trade team can help you to choose from a range of policy elements, including:

Should disaster strike – a fire, a flood, or an explosion – and you can’t trade, business interruption insurance will provide an income until you can get to your previous trading level.
If you’re trading from premises – be it a forecourt, yard or compound – you’ll want to have them protected. If your premises were damaged or destroyed, business premises insurance would cover the cost of repairs or a rebuild.
EL – is a legal requirement if you have any staff, full-time, part-time or contracted. EL insurance protects employers’ from compensation claims from their employees should a claim be made against them for loss or injury at work. Your policy must have a minimum of £5m cover, with £10m being the industry standard.
If you use testing equipment or machinery, an engineering inspection service element to your policy will cover the cost of a safety assessment of it, and can include covering the cost of breakdowns and replacements.
Protects your business if your MOT licence is lost. If your motor trade business is built around MOT testing, then this is a vital cover.
If money or keys are stolen from your premises, this is designed to cover the cost of their replacement. Most policies will stipulate that money needs to be left in a safe, locked cashbox, or a cabinet.
If products you use or recommend cause damage or harm, you can face claims for compensation. Product liability insurance will cover any pay-outs should a claim prove successful.
Also known as defective workmanship cover, protects you against claims for faulty parts or for accidentally fitting parts incorrectly.

  • 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

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?

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.

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.

There are several ways of cutting Motor Trade Insurance costs, including:

  • Limit the number of employees on your road risks policy
  • Building up your no-claims bonus
