Motor Trade

Introducing Aviva Motor Trade cover

Our Motor Trade products offer a range of covers for businesses involved in this sector who trade from commercial premises.

Why do clients need Motor Trade cover?

  • If your clients are in the business of caring for other people's cars, not only do they need to be insured for driving the vehicle, but they also need cover for when they're working on the vehicle. 
  • If they have employees, they have a legal requirement to have Employer's Liability.
  • There's a wide range of activities that Motor Traders need to consider when your clients are taking out their insurance such as;
    • Buying and selling vehicles
    • Maintaining and repairing vehicles, including panel beaters and paint sprayers
    • Breakdown and recovery

Why choose Aviva's Motor Trade cover?
