Anyone who buys and sells new or used cars, at whatever scale, should get specialist car dealer insurance. Whether you are a:

  • Selling new or used cars

What does car dealership insurance cover?

Car dealership insurance covers some of the common risks faced by car dealers. Core areas of cover include:

  • Road Risk – This will cover you to drive vehicles you do not own as part of your work, including customers’ vehicles, and any vehicles you are buying or selling.
  • Contents and Stock – This will cover your stock of new or used cars, along with any equipment or machinery you use as part of your business, against loss, damage, or theft.
  • Public Liability Cover – If any customers or other members of the public experience loss or damage on or around your business premises, this will cover any legal fees and compensation payments that may arise.
  • Employer’s Liability Cover – If you employ any staff, then you have a legal obligation to get employer’s liability cover. It will cover any claims made by your staff related to on-the-job accident or injury.
  • Buildings Cover – This will cover your business premises against damages from fire, flood, theft, vandalism, and other events.
  • Cyber Insurance – Cybercrime is a major risk for all businesses. Specialist cyber insurance can cover the expenses associated with responding to, and recovering from, a cyberattack.

How much does car dealership insurance cost?

The cost of the insurance premium for car dealerships depends on a number of factors, including:

  • The size of your business
  • Locations
  • Types of vehicles you sell and their value

  • Level of cover

We can work with you to tailor a policy that fits your needs and budget.
