Motor trade insurance questions we're asked

Do part-time traders need motor trade insurance?
Yes. If you buy and sell vehicles for profit, even occasionally, road risk cover is normally required and insurers will ask for evidence of trading.
What is the difference between road risk and combined cover?
Road risk covers driving trade vehicles on the road. Combined adds premises, stock, liabilities and equipment for businesses working from a site.
