Frequently Asked Questions

What is road risks cover for car dealers?

Road risks cover allows you to drive vehicles in connection with your motor trade business. This could be transporting a vehicle from an auction house or place of purchase back to your business premises, for example, or allowing test drives to be carried out using trade plates.

What is stock of vehicles cover?

This covers you in the event of vehicles being damaged or stolen while on your business premises. We agree a total value of vehicles with you so that you are insured should the worst happen. Speak to us about the type of vehicles we can insure and the limits of indemnity – we will visit you to find out your specific needs.

What is covered under motor trade business premises insurance?

If you own or lease business premises and do not have separate cover for your buildings, this can be added to your motor trade combined policy. In the event of damage to your buildings, the rebuild cost can be included in your policy. Kingfisher also provides cover for internal contents of the building – aside from the vehicles themselves, any money, keys, tools and equipment can be covered.

Do you cover service and repair insurance for vehicle dealers?

Yes, we do. We can provide insurance for specialist equipment including ramps and lifting tables, alongside engineering inspection cover.
