What is Business Car Insurance?
Business car insurance, or company or commercial car insurance, is a specialist type of car insurance that’s designed to protect drivers who either have company cars or drivers who use their cars for work-related purposes.
If you’re using your car to commute to one place of work, then a standard car insurance policy should give you the protection you need. If, however, you use your car to visit clients or travel between offices or job sites, then you’ll need business car insurance. When you get your car insurance quote, talk to your insurance broker about your driving and they’ll give you the opportunity to choose between:
- Social, domestic and pleasure (SDP) – which covers you for driving to the shops, visiting friends and other day-to-day driving
- Social, domestic and pleasure and commuting – which also covers you for commuting to and from your regular workplace
- Social, domestic and pleasure, commuting and business use – covers you for driving for day-to-day driving, commuting and using your car for work purposes too
Who needs Business Car Insurance?
Business car insurance is for people who use their car for work purposes. If you’re using your car to commute to one location, then standard car insurance will be fine, but if you’re doing any of the activities listed here, you should get a commercial car insurance quote.
Transporting goods or business equipment for work
Doing work-related errands, such as driving to the bank or getting supplies
Driving between different workplaces or job sites such as other offices or branches
Delivering supplies such as office stationery to another place
Driving a company car
Giving colleagues lifts to meetings/events

Driving between different workplaces or job sites such as other offices or branches

What types of Company Car Insurance are there?
Like your car insurance, you can choose from three levels of commercial car insurance cover, third-party, third-party, fire and theft, and fully comprehensive. On top of that there are three classes of business car insurance:
Class 1
This covers driving between multiple places of work or occasional travel to client meetings. It wouldn’t cover you for doing deliveries or working as a salesman making multiple stops in a day
Class 2
Offers the same cover as class 1 but comes with the option of adding a named driver – usually a colleague and almost always someone who has the same work address as the policyholder. Again, this wouldn’t cover you for doing deliveries or working as a salesman making multiple calls in a day
Class 3
Sometimes known as commercial travelling insurance, it could cover you if you drive long distances and/or do a lot of miles as part of your job so it’s ideal for sales representatives and the like. This won’t cover you if you use your car to make deliveries – for that, you’ll need courier insurance – or to carry paying passengers, for that you’ll need taxi insurance
How much does
Business Car Insurance cost?
At Coversure we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions for our clients. Instead, we’ll get to know your business’s needs and create a package of cover that fits your requirements. What we can say is that your commercial car insurance quote will depend on things such as…
The amount of business mileage you do
The make, model, age, engine size, and value of your vehicle
The driver’s age
What you do for a living – someone with high mileage making multiple time-pressured visits per day such as a sales representative will likely pay more
Your claims history and the age of your drivers
The level of excess you’re prepared to pay
Your level of no claims bonus
Whether you want to pay monthly or annually – annually will usually prove cheaper
If your car has a telematics system on board
Your postcode
How to get cheaper Business Car Insurance?
There are several easy ways to potentially get cheaper commercial car insurance quotes, including:
Using an independent business car insurance broker. An independent broker like Coverure not only has expert knowledge of commercial car insurance but also has multiple insurer contacts so we can compare the market and get you a great deal
Reducing the risks posed by young drivers by only allowing them to drive when accompanied by an experienced driver, in daylight or reducing their mileage
Renewing your policy early to give your broker time to shop around for you
Setting a higher level of excess
Securing your vehicle by adding an extra security kit. Things like vehicle trackers, interior cams, telematics systems etc., and parking it securely overnight and at weekends can help reduce your costs
Investing in driver training. A Department of Transport report on driver training has suggested that if drivers had better hazard perception training, it could lead to an 11% reduction in collisions, and fewer collisions can mean fewer claims and lower business car insurance premiums
If your business has multiple company car insurance policies, you can save money by getting a fleet insurance quote. Fleet insurance is available to owners of two or more vehicles and can significantly reduce your overall insurance costs as well as cutting administration time
