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.

It also covers your business against the financial impact a disruption to your business, following one of these material damage losses.
A policy that provides you with the necessary statutory LOLER & PUWER inspections of all your plant & machinery, so that you remain complaint with the HSE’s requirements. The option to insure against ‘sudden unforeseen damage’ should any of the plant & machinery fail.
Cyber-attacks occur in many different forms, from data breaches to human error. They cause major disruption to your life and your business, including operational downtime, financial loss, reputational damage, regulatory investigations and legal action.
Directors and officers are bound by complex legislation in the UK and allegations of wrongful acts from interested parties like shareholders, investors and regulators are on the rise.
Taking out directors’ and officers’ liability insurance means you can help mitigate the risks faced by you or your senior employees. The policy can provide legal advice, and cover defence costs as well as any compensation costs that arise from an unsuccessful defence.
