Is this the right policy for me? 

If you use your vehicle for work, you may have noticed that some insurers charge an extra premium to add ‘business use’ to a personal motor policy. As specialist insurance brokers, we understand that your childcare business means you could have additional needs your policy, and so our motor insurance includes childcare business use at no extra cost

We offer cover for cars, vans, minibuses, and vehicles with up to 17 seats.

Your cover is flexible. Choose between Comprehensive and Third Party, Fire and Theft cover.
