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

  • Types of vehicles you sell and their value
  • Security measures you put in place
  • Level of cover

Testimonial

After our previous insurer refused to cover a commercial property we had recently refurbished, we had to look at other options.

Following a recommendation from IMDA member, we contacted Andrew Ellis from Flectcher Smith Insurance Brokers. Andrew came and carried out a site assessment on both of our properties. We sat down and went through a detailed audit to make sure all needs and demands were accurately met.

The quote fell well within our expected renewal budget! A real positive for me is the confidence I have in the broker and insurance company knowing our business inside out.
