The are several key differences between business car insurance and private car insurance. The first is that in the case of the former, the right cover is all important. Any cost savings come secondary to this. Very often, with private car insurance, people are willing to compromise on cover to save money, but this is a mistake for business car insurance cover. Why?

Well, a business vehicle, if off the road, needs to be replaced immediately if an employee is to be able to continue to undertake their duties. This means that in most cases, a free courtesy car is a usaeful arrangement for business car insurance. In addition, measures to keep a car on the road during the working day are also important, therefore free breakdown cover with a fast call out is also helpful.

There may be other features of value to the business too, while a slightly increased excess may be more acceptable for business car insurance than may routinely be the case for a private car owner.

The above quality considerations mean that it is usually unhelpful to deploy a price comparison site to try to find business car insurance as such services, with a low price focus, are less useful  when you need to identify policies that offer more than the most basic cover.

Thus, business car insurance is best purchased direct from leading car insurance companies, such as those we list below. Via these links you can investigate the cover and choose according to your requirements.

If you need business car insurance for multiple cars, Admiral is a good choice; while Direct Line remains an ever-popular choice for quality cover in the UK.

It is always wise to resist the urge to cut business car insurance costs by selecting a slightly more basic policy. An employer has a statutory duty of care to his employees that if not met by a car insurance company in the event of a more serious accident could fall to him to pay.

While Admiral is probably the insurance company of first choice where multi car insurance is needed for business car insurance purposes, most direct insurance companies, as listed below, are able to provide discounts for second and subsequent cars; so it is best to judge policies on their cover first and their providers second.

Whatever course you pursue, it is essential with business car insurance to be fully aware of the cover's inclusions and exclusions. It pays to be conservative in your choices to avoid later budgetary drains on company resources.
