Traders insurance for a 17/18 year old.

Hi

Do any of you know if there are any insurers, who would provide a Traders policy, with a 17 or 18 year old as a named driver on it?

Theres one or two but it'll have massive restrictions on it i.e may only do test drives in cars under 2 litres etc...
Happy hunting.

If somebody finds a traders policy for somebody young please let me know. I have been looking for ages.

As JC said, it's unlikely that you'd be able to drive anything and everything. For example, after I passed in November last year, our insurance company wanted £1500 extra per year to add me (17 years of age at the time) to the policy for SD&P use. The restriction was that I could only drive vehicles 1.3 litres and under. In the end I just got a separate insurance policy for my car, as we very rarely stock anything under 1.6.

Obviously the price and restrictions vary widely between insurance companies, and it may be cheaper if you are insured for strictly trade use and nothing else.

I just need traders for actually bringing cars home after we have bought them. I will buy a separate policy for own car, unless its cheaper to pay extra for SD&P on traders(getting a 1 litre anyways :P).

So Jo53phs and JC, can i have the names of the company i may be able to get quotes from?

The limit of 1.3 would be a huge problem for me. I have got a 2.5 litre car for starters, and the other vehicles i may drive would be 1.6 and 1.8.

Sorry, but you'll have to do your own leg work like I did when I was your age.

Named driver on my dads traders insurance. I was 21 then and was limited to 1.8 and below for £235 a month. Covered S&D and also allowed for modified cars so I thought it was a pretty good price.

Make a new post instead of bumping one that's 6 years old and you might stand a better chance.
