Whether you operate as a mobile tyre fitter, from business premises or both, tyre fitter insurance can offer protection for you, your business, your employees & the public in case the unexpected happens.
Fitting tyres is a job that carries many risks, such as damaging a customer’s vehicle and injury to employees or customers. Equally, however, there are a host of additional risks to consider, for example, theft of equipment & damage to stock.
As a business, you’ll want to protect yourself against these risks and meet any legal requirements, e.g. employer’s liability insurance if your company has employees.

How to find cheap tyre fitter insurance
The easiest way to save both time and money when it comes to arranging tyre fitter insurance is to use a comparison site, like this one, to compare quotes from multiple providers using just one form. As well as reviewing a number of prices, the following tips may help.
1
Do not over insure
Make sure to avoid purchasing un-necessary add-ons for your policy.
2
Consider who you is on the policy
Younger employees or those with convictions (both motoring and non-motoring) may push up the prices you are quoted.
3
Fully comprehensive vs 3rd party
It can be cheaper to opt for a fully comprehensive policy despite it appearing counter-intuitive to many.
4
Pay annually
If possible, paying annually for your insurance avoids you having to spend money on interest charges that are accrued when you pay monthly.
What types of cover does tyre fitter’s insurance include?
Insurance providers can tailor a policy to fit a business’s requirements. Benefit from expert advice on what covers you need when comparing quotes. Typical covers include:
Road risk insurance: typically provides cover for driving a business’ own vehicles and vehicles in a business’s custody, e.g. customer vehicles, for motor trade purposes. Road risk only insurance is a legal requirement for any company operating in the motor trade and is considered the minimum level of cover. It is typically suited to smaller businesses, part time motor traders or those working from home. It offers three levels of protection, like a standard vehicle policy: third party only, third party, fire & theft, and comprehensive.
Combined motor trade insurance: typically for larger operations, combined motor trade policies include road risk and other covers, including employers liability insurance, public liability insurance & commercial premises insurance. Although a combined policy will typically be more expensive than road risk insurance, it can offer substantially more cover.
