Title: GTI Insurance + Business Use =?
Post by: Eccie on August 26, 2009, 04:32:39 pm: Hi folks, I have read a number of articles on insurance on here, with recommendations for e.g. Greenlight & Adrian Flux etc

I wanted to hear from any members who have business use included on their policy, i.e. who offers it? (Currently with Zurich, renewal Oct)

I am trying to cut down the number of calls i have to make; both my wife and I have this cover on are main cars and as a named driver on the others - so we can swap cars if and when its needed, that way i get to drive the GTI more Grin (greenlight & adrian flux can't do this)

Any help or info appreciated Wink

posted in the right place now!

Post by: WhiteHartMart on August 29, 2009, 12:26:19 pm: I use my Ed30 for business use - Swiftcover have quoted me Â£264 per annum although this rises to Â£300 if you add in extras such as legal cover.

Need to decide in the next week so it's between this and the mod friendly Greenlight :happy2:

Post by: Boothy on August 29, 2009, 06:00:55 pm: If you go on Compare the Meerkat, sorry Market you can specify business use. I did that recently and then again without it to see what the difference was between having and not having it. I think it was about Â£40 difference if I remember correctly and loads of companies did it. Might be worth a look mate.

Are you sure it does? I would check if I was you as they would not cover my ED30 for business use, only SDP.

Post by: Eccie on August 29, 2009, 06:18:24 pm: Thanks for all the helpful info.

Just to clarify matters Greenlight will offer business use for the policy holder (wife) on the GTI, but wonâ€™t offer business use cover for the named driver (me) and wonâ€™t offer me cover on the Audi (non performance car) (maybe I should tune it :grin:)

I am waiting for my renewal premiums on both cars (Â£400 â€“ 500) each and then will have to do some ringing around; I will let you all know what unfolds.

I guess it would be a real headache if the GTI was modified :scared:
