I have a few cars and need all of them on the road for various reasons, I have also recently started buying and selling a few cars.
Insuring each one on a policy is a killer financially  Especially when buying and selling due to the admin costs.
Sounds like a trade policy could work (that's if they work how I imagine them too)? Does anyone have any experiences or company that they have used in the past?
Want to add 4 cars on that I keep and add/remove now and again for the ones I buy and sell.
Thoughts?

I was on trade for around 7 years when I had 3 or 4 cars to drive. I said that I just sold a few cars a year part time and they were happy with that. When I was 23 it ony cost around £700. Best thing I ever did, so much easier being able to jump in any car and drive it.
Can't remember the first place I was with but my previous one was choicequote. Just Google some and see which comes out best.

Mine keeps going up it seems to get more expensive each year.
I have a website I log into and add the cars then take them off etc. Have to say if they are mine or a sales car etc.
For customers cars they don't need to be added.
Think I pay around £1350 now. :-(

£2200 for road risk SDPC, towing and goods in transit.
Obviously I could half that if I was in general maintenance but salvage is evidently the fraudulent scummy cousin of regular mechanics.

I'm with Trade Plan currently.
£1600 for me and the misses.
Unlimited mileage, personal use, can pop anything up to the value of £7500 on there. Allows not only myself but the misses to drive any other vehicle third party as well.

All sounds good. Will have a google at the weekend.
The AMG is coming out at £850 to insure, so all these prices so far are easily the best route!

Hi
First thing you need to do is find a good Broker, I can suggest a few that I deal with if that helps.

Got my first price yesterday for £1400. Doesn't seem to bad, as I can put as many cars as I want on it, but they wont put the AMG on it due to performance and my age. Plus they'll only pay out trade value on it which would be a bit shit if I smashed it up
Going to get some more quotes over the weekend.

You will only ever get trade value for own vehicle the reasoning behind that is because you are in the trade you could replace/repair your own vehicle at a lower cost than someone who wasn't a motor trader.
I'll message you with a few good ones that I deal with.
