If your scratch and dent repair service is mobile your business relies on getting to your customers premises on time. Having motor trade road risks insurance in place allows you to drive on the road. The benefits of having a road risks policy is that you can drive your own vehicles as well as your customers vehicles, sometimes a benefit if you need to drive your customers vehicles either at a car sales pitch or perhaps to deliver a vehicle when its been repaired.
Although there are choices between Third Party Only, Third Party Fire & Theft or Comprehensive insurance, its always better to protect both your own and your customers vehicle against damage whilst you are driving it, because of this we would always recommend comprehensive insurance cover.
