How does this work?
Im wondering wether this will be worth me getting. Im setting up a car audio installation business, which may require me to drive other peeps vehicles.
thanks
Check out //www.tradexinsurance.com for details, I\'ve just taken out a traders policy with them, & it worked out £50 cheaper for it that a qoute on the RX & now I\'ve saved money by cancelling the 6 other polices I have. This covers me up to a 10k public liability & I can drive any car fully comp cant remember what I put the excess to thou. I\'m 28, 3 points, 3 claims & only one yr ncb & normal insurers wouldnt touch me with a modded RX
You got another link for that company that one\'s dead
So whats the deal with trade insurance do you need proof that you run a qualifing business ?
If I could get it then it would save me a fair bit on other policies

Si
you can get an enthaustist policy from them
i\'d be intreged to see how it compares with 2 policys on a standard car & meaty RX7..........

hmmmm might give them a ring and see how much it is ... I have 3 insurance policies at the mo (although one allows me to be covered on road sections of rallies up to Nat A.)
I was searching through old threads for insurance advice and came up with this one.
Can anyone tell me if it would be better to get a traders policy if I have a modded RX and do you know the restrictions?
I\'m a 28 year old freelance consultant so have my own limited company, will I be able to insure my cars through a company on a traders policy?
I\'ve noticed that Tradex have a section for "Enthusiast", does anyone know what restrictions this would have?
Sorry to bring up "old stock" but I kinda need some advice from some experts, you guys.
I had a stupid quote yeterday for more than £6k with 1 years NCB living in London.
Thanks

I\'ve got one of there enthusiast policies , basically its a trade policy under a different name , you can tailor the policy to you requirements , as far as I can see it doesn\'t have any restrictions , you can cover any car thats in you possesion or custody ( I take that as any car that you have permission to drive , they told me any car thats in my name )
You are insured for an indemnity not a vehicle , you set your limit at the value of the most expensive car , only down side I can see is your only allowed to claim that amount in a single year , however you can buy more at a prorata rate
Best bet is fill in the quote form on line , they\'ll call you back to discuss it and finalise any details , they\'ll be able to answer any questions
Good Luck , 6k is a touch on the pricey side
Thanks Tintin, I\'ll give it a try.
Can I ask how much you pay with them, age, NCB etc?
I\'m 29 , 4 years NCB and this years renewal was £1600 for a 10k indemnity
thats with 3 points and an old drink drive conviction
I\'ve just had a quote from Tradex for 2 cars for £2500 which isn\'t too bad considering the mods I\'ve got. I haven\'t taken it out yet so haven\'t told them about all the goodies, do you know if it makes a difference even though it\'s a trade policy?
I also wanted to put my girlfriend on the policy (not to drive my Rex!) so she could drive the other car but they said you need to have 3 cars for 2 drivers. Is there anything stopping me buying a car that I\'m gonna keep off the road (no tax and MOT) and using it that way??
If I remember correctly they don\'t need to know about mods as your being insured on an indemnity not a car , when you get the forms to fill in on the list of types of vehicles covered theres a box for modified , my rule of thumb is if they don\'t ask don\'t tell them
Don\'t see why you can\'t cover a car thats kept off road , you\'ll have three cars and they don\'t need to know your not using it , price won\'t go up for extra car but you will have to pay a bit extra for extra driver
What indemnity limit you set ??? , My first year was £2200 at £10K
£2200 is pretty cheap, I\'ve only got 1 years NCB now (my Rex was my first years insurance for a long time, ouch!).
The woman said I was insured for a value up to £7500 but I\'m not sure how the indemnity works.
I declared the value of the Rex as £7500 and the Audi as £2500.
I\'m wondering if I could have my motorbike as the 3rd vehicle as that\'s £900 a year TPFT with 3 years NCB....outrageous isn\'t it!
your indemnity is 7.5k ( value of most exspensive vehicle ) , ask about your bike a mate of mine is considering using them and he\'s got a bike
That is pretty cheap , I\'d take it especially if you can stick the bike on aswell
I\'m still not quite sure I follow the indemnity??
So if in the event I crash my car the maximum I can get for it is £7500....how about if something worse happens to someone else, what is my liabilty?
Sorry for sounding so stupid but I just want to make sure I\'m properly covered for every event.
Cheers

I\'ve just spoken to them an all has now been figured out. If I add my bike they want to hike the premium to £4000 so I won\'t be doing that.
There\'s nothing stopping you from buying another car and keeping it off the road, just seen one in autotrader for £80.
When you took out your premium did they ask you if your Rex had been modified?
She said as long as the value of the car wasn\'t over £7.5k and wasn\'t a performance car like an Impreza or RS Cosworth (It was painful not putting her straight) they weren\'t too bothered. I haven\'t been down the route of taking out out yet so am not sure if they ask any other questions, being an import a likely one I would have thought?
