Rural Business Motor insurance

We recognise that roads are the arteries of the rural economy, and that the vehicles on them are our lifeblood. That’s why effective motor insurance is so important for the success of rural businesses.

Our Rural Business Motor Insurance is an innovative product available for a range of trades and occupations. So whether you’re a florist, plumber, builder, baker or shopkeeper, you can combine multiple commercial vehicles, private cars, and even motorised horseboxes in this one simple policy.

We know that urban areas are full of risk, from the increased number of accidents that result in injuries to higher crime rates. We don’t believe rural drivers should be penalised as a result, so that’s why we only insure drivers in rural areas.
