ChoiceQuote, a broker specialising in insurance for the motor sector

ChoiceQuote is a British insurance broker focused on the vehicle trade, taxis and courier services. The firm presents itself as a specialist in policies for the motor trade, taxis and courier services, and works with a wide panel of insurers to find cover tailored to each activity. It is part of a group that describes itself as one of the country's leading independent insurance brokers, according to its own presentation.

The company has been operating since 1995 and its website states that it was recognised as a Feefo Platinum Trusted Service partner in 2020. It serves both full-time professionals and those who carry out the activity on a part-time basis.

Insurance for the vehicle trade

The motor trade policy covers vehicle services and repairs, car sales, mechanics, vehicle valeting and breakdown services, among other activities. The company distinguishes between those who work from home and those who work from premises.

For professionals operating from home, the catalogue includes cover for breakdown and recovery agents, mobile mechanics, motorcycle traders, part-time traders and tyre fitters. For those working from premises, it offers insurance for approved repairers, auto electricians, breakdown and recovery operators, body shops, classic restoration and maintenance, car dealerships, MOT garages and service and repair garages.

It also has road risk only policies, part-time traders insurance, traders combined insurance and unaccompanied demonstration cover.

Courier and taxi insurance

For courier businesses with five or fewer vehicles, ChoiceQuote offers courier van insurance and goods in transit cover. When the fleet exceeds five vehicles, it proposes a fleet policy that groups all vehicles and drivers under a single contract, which makes management easier and can reduce costs. Courier cover ranges from third party liability to fully comprehensive.

In the taxi sector, the broker covers hire or reward use, for both public hire and private hire. It offers policies for single vehicles, taxi fleets and taxi bases, and includes specific cover for Uber, black cabs and private hire.

Commercial fleets and liability

The commercial insurance section includes fleet policies for vans, company cars, haulage, minibuses and coaches. It also offers insurance for ice cream vans, hot food vans, minibuses and haulage. In the area of liability, it covers public liability and employers' liability.

Service and purchasing

Policies can be taken out online or by telephone. The company highlights that its best prices are available over the phone and that the quote process takes just minutes. The website shows a notice of special opening hours for the bank holiday on 29 May, with service from 10am to 3pm for the motor trade, road risks, courier insurance and commercial vehicle lines.
