I have just spent the last 2 weeks trying to sort out motor trade insurance.After 35 years in the business,I thought this would be a fairly straightforward operation,but it appears that a lot of companies have stopped doing motor trade cover.I found the on-line companies are a complete waste of time as they have no knowledge of the industry and what is reqd of a person involved with repairing cars etc.However, I did manage to sort out some cover to my needs through these people.

I would not be surprised if your premium for this year has increased by at least 25%.
