  • Public and Products Liability Insurance is a good idea if you take your business to events like food markets or park on council-owned land. This insurance can help you recover if you accidentally damage someone else's property, or someone is injured due to your business activity. 

DO NOT USE

If you’re in the ride-hailing industry using your vehicle for business, you’ll want to make sure you’ve got the right cover. Our customers operating a rideshare service often opt for the following cover: 

  • Comprehensive Commercial Vehicle Insurance to cover your vehicle from accidental damage, loss or theft. This includes excess-free glass cover. 

  • Public and Products Liability Insurance which covers your legal liability if you accidentally damage someone else's property, or someone is injured due to your business activities. This is particularly important if you regularly pick up clients from a specific place.
