It'll be on a trade type policy that covers all their vehicles so they probably won't show up on the insurance database but if the police were to pull you, a quick phonecall would have it all cleared up

You dont need to ask them for insurance you have to sign the forms there and then, it's not optional

They also have the option of underwriting the risk themselves if they have sufficient assets to cover it, ie. they don't buy insurance because they've enough in the bank to pay out themselves.

Hence why when you crash them they're not recorded.

It can be placed on your insurance

Also, I ment fully comp insurance is what you need to ask for, that way any dents etc dont effect you

A lot of big fleet management companies do it too.

I think its brilliant, loads of un-recorded write offs

generally they cover themselves due to things like £10k excesses
