Cover for all types of motor trade
What Is MOT station insurance?
MOT Station insurance is a tailored set of covers for businesses that offer MOTs. It can consist of a range of covers including road risks or combined cover, employer’s liability, public liability, stock, tools & premises.
How to find cover for your MOT station/garage
Making sure you have the right insurance for your MOT garage is essential, as it doesn’t just require a standard motor trade insurance policy – you will also need protection against the risk of loss of license.

What does insurance for MOT garages cover?
No single MOT business is the same, so you’ll receive tailored quotes from the insurance providers on the panel.

What types of MOT station insurance are available?
Generally, there are two main types of MOT business insurance:
- Road risk insurance: covers you and/or employees driving vehicles you own when using them for any reason, and customer vehicles when using them solely for business purposes. Road risk is typically used by smaller businesses or those requiring motor trade insurance on a part time basis. As with standard car insurance, you can choose from three levels of cover, namely third party only, third party, fire & theft & fully comprehensive.
- Combined insurance: starts with road risk insurance & can be combined with a number of other types of cover including employers’ liability insurance (usually required by law if you have employees), professional indemnity insurance, business interruption and many more.
The best way to find out what type of cover you require is to complete the quote form and discuss a tailored mot station insurance quote with an expert adviser.
How to get cheaper MOT garage insurance
One of the easiest ways to save money on your insurance is to compare quotes each year at the time of renewal. As well as this, you may want to consider who you insure on your policy; if you have employees, then their driving histories, e.g. convictions, may affect the amount you pay.
Other ways to save as the owner of an MOT garage
Asides from finding a competitive insurance quote, MOT stations use a fair amount of electricity. The average business in the UK can save over £900 per year when they compare business energy quotes. Fill out our short business energy comparison form to see how much you will save.
