Why do you need specialist automotive insurance?
The automotive sector is evolving at a rapid rate, what with Covid-19, Brexit, changing buying/vehicle ownership behaviours and emerging technology shaping its future.
All of these present unique challenges to the automotive sector – whether it is:
- providing distance-selling services to promote online sales
- creating your own vehicle subscription service/mobility scheme for customers seeking a flexible alternative to traditional vehicle ownership
- upskilling/re-skilling your technicians to service and maintain electric vehicles safely
- upgrading your tools, plant & machinery to provide your technicians with an environment to service and maintain electric vehicles safely
- ‘stockpiling’ (or manufacturing more) parts, thereby reducing delivery waiting times after Brexit, to repair vehicles more quickly without delays
We recognise these issues are all in addition to the general day-to-day challenges faced in running your business.
