What Does Under 25 Motor Trade Insurance Cover?
Our under 25 motor trade insurance policies are flexible and can be built around your specific trade. Depending on your work, cover can include:
✅ Core Road Risks Cover
Protects you when driving customer vehicles, trade stock, or your own trade vehicles on public roads for business purposes. Options typically include Third Party Only, Third Party Fire & Theft, or Comprehensive.
✅ Vehicles in Your Care
Cover for vehicles temporarily in your possession, whether they’re being repaired, serviced, or sold, ensuring you’re protected if they’re damaged, stolen, or lost while under your responsibility.
✅ Public Liability Insurance
Essential protection if a customer or member of the public is injured, or their property is damaged, as a result of your business activities.
✅ Employers’ Liability Insurance
If you have employees, apprentices, or helpers, this cover is required by law. It protects you if someone is injured or falls ill as a result of their work for your business.
✅ Tools, Equipment & Stock
Cover for tools, diagnostic equipment, and trade stock such as vehicles awaiting sale or repair, against theft, damage, or fire.
✅ Business Premises Cover
If you operate from a workshop, unit, or garage, your buildings and contents can be included in your policy for additional protection.
✅ Business Interruption
Optional cover that helps safeguard your income if your business operations are disrupted by an insured event such as fire or flood.
All policies are tailored to your business needs and reviewed regularly as your experience grows and your circumstances change.

Frequently Asked Questions about Under 25 Motor Trade Insurance
Can I get motor trade insurance if I’m under 25 and new to the trade?
Yes. Many insurers provide policies specifically for young or first-time traders. You may have some restrictions at first, but these can be reviewed as you gain experience.
Does under 25 motor trade insurance cover customer vehicles?
Yes, policies typically include cover for vehicles in your care, custody, or control while you are working on or moving them as part of your business.
Can I drive any car with motor trade insurance?
Not always. Your policy will specify which vehicles you can drive and under what circumstances (e.g. trade vehicles or customer cars). Always check your documentation.
Can I get cover if I work from home or am a mobile mechanic?
Yes, under 25 motor trade insurance can be arranged for mobile traders or home-based businesses. Your policy will reflect your working setup.
What happens when I turn 25?
Once you reach 25 and gain more experience, you may have access to more insurer options and wider cover. Your policy can be updated accordingly at renewal.
Is public liability insurance included automatically?
It can be included or added as part of your package. It’s strongly recommended for anyone who interacts with customers or members of the public.
Why do I need a specialist policy instead of a normal car insurance policy?
Standard vehicle insurance only covers personal use. Motor trade insurance covers business use, such as driving customer vehicles, stock, or trade plates, which standard policies exclude.
