As your business is generally mobile, you will need specialist SMART repairer insurance policy, as any other policy, such as those taken out by traditional body shops/garages, simply won’t cover you correctly. Similarly, commercial insurance or motor trade combined insurance policies won’t offer the right level of protection and are more often than not too expensive for SMART repairers.
What is automotive SMART repairer insurance?
SMART repairer insurance protects SMART repairers from the risks they are likely to be taking when fixing and repairing the cosmetic elements of a client’s car. This type of policy can ensure you are covered if you are working on or moving a customer’s vehicle to another space, allowing you to get on and do your job without having to worry. Our policies are also extended to include liability to members of the public, for any injury and damage caused to third parties and/or their property, whilst carrying out your day-to-day business activities.
What does a SMART repairer insurance policy cover?
We understand that your business will include risks that typical motor trade combined insurance policies may not include, which is why we incorporate areas such as public liability, work away from your premises, as well as theft of tools from your vehicle overnight (provided that the relevant security was in place).
