Protect Your Motorsport Assets On The Move And In Storage
We understand that motorsport businesses often invest large amounts in race cars, specialist vehicles, tools, equipment, and spare parts.

What Can Motorsport Storage & Transit Insurance Cover?
The cover will depend on your business requirements, and may be arranged for:
- Race cars and competition vehicles

- Merchandise and stock.
Our expert team will take the time to understand your business operations and identify which insurance solutions would meet your needs.
Why Is It Important For Motorsport Businesses?
Motorsport vehicles and equipment are often expensive to replace and they could be difficult to source at short notice. Unexpected incidents such as theft, fire, accidental damage or transport-related losses can cause significant financial and operational disruption.
The right insurance solution can help businesses minimise the financial impact of these events and keep operations moving.
Some key benefits include:
- Protection for valuable assets
- Reduced financial risk
- Greater business resilience
- Tailored cover options
- Confidence when attending events and competitions.
Who Is Motorsport Storage & Transit Insurance Suitable For?
From face teams travelling across the UK and Europe to specialist engineering businesses that store high-value vehicles and equipment, many organisations within the industry face similar risks when it comes to storage and transportation.
This could be moving competition vehicles between events, storing specialist tools at your workshop, or transporting valuable parts and equipment to clients and circuits. Unexpected incidents such as theft, loss or accidental damage can significantly impact your finances and business.
Motorsport Storage & Transit Insurance can be tailored to suit a wide range of motorsport-related businesses, helping protect valuable assets both on and off the road.
These may include:
- Motorsport race teams
- Motorsport engineering companies
- Race vehicle preparers
- Motorsport transport operators
- Vehicle restoration specialists
- Specialist car storage facilities
- Motorsport parts suppliers
- Motorsport retailers
- Event support businesses.
Risks Faced During Storage & Transit
Unlike many other industries, motorsport regularly moves high-value vehicles and equipment. Assets may be loaded and unloaded multiple times throughout a season, temporarily stored at event venues, or transported over long distances, increasing the potential for accidents, theft or loss.
A single incident could impact schedules, affect motorsport events and lead to significant replacement or repair costs. Having the right insurance can help mitigate these risks and provide peace of mind for businesses operating within the fast-paced motorsport industry.
Some of the most common risks faced during storage and transit include:
- Theft of race cars, specialist equipment or valuable components
- Accidental damage during transportation, loading and unloading
- Fire damage affecting stored vehicles, equipment or stock
- Weather-related damage whilst assets are in transit or temporary storage
- Loss or misplacement of equipment during travel between locations
- Damage caused by road traffic incidents that involve transport vehicles or trailers.
