  2. The insurers are cracking down on motor traders policies. There are too many people who are not genuine motor traders using them as a cheaper way of insuring a bunch of vehicles.
    There's also some criminal gangs selling cover on their traders policies to other dodgy geezers who can't get insurance. One guy was nicked after putting over 500 peoples vehicles on the MID via his traders policy (for a fee). :eek:
    Many insurers now ask for proof of trading (accounts/receipts/invoices) to try and check you are actually in the motor trade.
     
  3. no i am not a motor trader although the original reason of buying my second bus was to import and do a light resto and sell on and get another one over
    it is the fact (sorry for the red) that i currently have 3 classic vw two of them act as my daily s (which ever ones running the best)
    that a multi car /trader /cheaper policy would be good but does not seem available

    Think you'll find it difficult because of your selection of vehicles - if you had 3 modern cars no doubt it would be straightforward. Try ringing a broker or visiting a local one, lay your cards on the table and tell them not to get back in touch unless they can give you a sensible quote as you've already got plenty of silly ones and you're sick of having the pee taken. When they ask what your best quote is - on no account tell them or they'll just come back with £20 cheaper.
