MOTOR TRADE INSURANCE FOR CONVICTED DRIVERS
motor trade insurance for convicted drivers
Motor trade insurance for convicted drivers is relatively expensive because, statistically, drivers with convictions are more likely to make an insurance claim than drivers without.
- Motor trade insurance for drink drivers is based upon a risk assessment of you, as a convicted drunk driver, by a UK insurance provider.
- In assessing the risk you pose, an insurance provider considers numerous factors, including convictions for motoring or non-motoring offences.
- If the risk is unacceptably high, the provider may be unwilling to offer
you motor trade insurance at all; if they do offer you a policy, the
extra risk will be factored into the premium that you’re asked to pay.
Can I compare motor trade insurance for convicted drivers and get cheaper cover with convictions?
- You can shop around for better deals on motor
trade insurance with criminal convictions, at least to some extent, but
the process is less straightforward than comparing other forms of
insurance cover, such as private motor insurance.
- Most aggregator and comparison websites offer
online quotes for most types of insurance cover, with the notable
exception of motor trade insurance with convictions.
- Consequently,
rather than comparing online quotes for motor trade insurance for
criminal convictions, you may find it necessary to rely on a specialist
insurance company or broker.
- Motor trade insurance with points is always
comparatively expensive but, by considering your insurance needs in
relation to motor trade insurance premiums across the whole of the
market.
An experienced, reputable broker should be able to find you a
competitive deal.
Will I be accepted for motor trade insurance for convicted drivers if I have a criminal record?
- Your acceptance for motor trade insurance with
criminal convictions depends, largely, on the nature, number and
severity of your convictions. Convictions for motoring and non-motoring
offences both affect your eligibility for motor trade insurance.
- Naturally, providers of motor trade insurance
for criminal convictions take a much dimmer view of serious road traffic
offences, such as dangerous driving, than minor offences, such as
speeding.
- You may find it easier to obtain it easier to obtain motor
trade insurance if you have convictions for minor, non-motoring
offences, such as, say, low level shoplifting.
- Nevertheless, the impact of convictions for
non-motoring offences on the availability of motor trade insurance
varies widely from one insurer to the next.
Where can I find a motor trade insurance for drink drivers?
As mentioned above, many mainstream comparison
websites don’t a offer motor trader insurance comparison, but that
doesn’t mean that it’s impossible to find a trader’s policy on UKLI Compare; in fact far from it.
- Several specialist websites, many of whom
partner with experienced, knowledgeable insurance brokers, focus solely
on motor trade insurance for drink drivers.
- The term ‘motor trader’ covers an assortment of
activities but, by choosing an expert, you should be able to find
appropriate, affordable cover, regardless of the niche of the motor
trade in which you operate.
What do I need to know about a trader’s policy?
If the risk is unacceptably high, the provider may be unwilling to offer
you motor trade insurance at all; if they do offer you a policy, the
extra risk will be factored into the premium that you’re asked to pay.

More on convicted driver motor trade insurance*
Motor trade insurance for convicted drivers is
an umbrella term covering a huge range of policies, including, but not
limited to, road risks, employers’ liability, theft, damage and
interruption of business.
- Under the Road Traffic Act 1988, it is a legal
requirement that anyone working in the motor trade industry, part-time
or full-time, has appropriate motor trade insurance cover.
- So-called
‘road risks’ insurance, which is akin to private motor insurance, is a
minimum legal requirement for anyone who buy or sells vehicles for a
profit, or works on vehicles that they do not own.
- As the name suggests, road risks insurance
covers you for potential accidents whilst driving on public roads and,
like private motor insurance, is available in comprehensive, third party
fire and theft and third party only varieties.
Why is under 25 motor trade insurance harder to get?
As is the case with motor trade insurance with
convictions, insurance providers view drivers under the age of 25 –
even those with no convictions – as riskier propositions than older,
more experienced drivers.
- Consequently, younger drivers seeking motor
trade insurance with points face the ‘double whammy’ of inexperience and
criminal conviction, which can have a major impact on the availability,
and cost, of appropriate insurance premiums.
- Restricted road risks insurance cover for
drivers under the age of 25 is available, at a price, but motor trade insurance for drink drivers
typically exclude buying, selling and driving high performance cars.
- Other aspects of motor trade insurance may, or may not, be quite so age-dependent, depending upon the insurance company.
Can I use my motor trade insurance no claims bonus with a new company?
Obviously, motor trade insurance protection is
as important to a new company as it is to an established company. No
claims bonuses or discounts on motor trade insurance for drink drivers are
accrued, year-by-year, in the same way as private motor insurance
policies.
However, if you’re starting out in the motor
trade, it may be possible to reduce the cost of your motor trade
insurance premium by transferring a no claims bonus accrued on a private
car or van insurance policy.
Whether or not you can do this depends on the
insurer but, with a range of motor trade insurance products designed to
aid your transition into the business world, your lack of experience in
the motor trade may not, necessarily, count against you.
