fastfood delivery driver insurance cant find it

Easydriver

I hope someone cant help me i have been offered the chance to do a few shifts a week being a takeaway driver.

But the problem is insurance and cant use normal i can really do with extra money,i will be using my car

i have tried various car insurance company's which passed me to various company's more than to one business to brightside to call connection a few names i remember

i have asked a couple of drivers else where no answer,

i need business insurance but when reading the fine print it says fast food drivers etc not covered

i haved asked the shop and they don't have a clue basic english speaking

there must be someone out there who knows and don't want to take risk

i do have various other questions bout self employment etc on this but no point finding out just yet if i cant do it

thank you in advance

I think the reason you are having so much trouble finding it is because hardly any FF delivery drivers bother with it.

I mean, how is Insurance Co going to know they were working as a delivery driver? Are they going to turn up at any accident and check the wreckage for a pizza? Then prove it wasn't just a pizza you were picking up for your tea?

I am not advocating insurance fraud, just saying...

I think people have mentioned before that usually they are covered by a company policy as it is next to impossible to get personal insurance for it.

Googling Domino's drivers I found the following job spec on job centre plus:

"
Description

Applicants must have a full UK driving licence, 3 points or less on licence (due to insurance policy) and own vehicle. Duties will be to deliver pizzas in the Colchester area. There is an immediate start available for this position. Additional payments of £1.00 per delivery and 20 pence per telephone call. . "

Yeh can understand what your saying ,only problem would be police seeing you go in and out of the restaurant and asking to check details and it would take one person to phone up and say this person is driving without proper insurance etc

but can see as you say why drivers think why pay extra etc if nobody knows,but anything can happen accident etc without proper insurance then up trouble creek

cant imagine a lot of takeaways paying extra on a company policy and that would mean a lot of drivers could be without proper insurance,there must be thousands of take away drivers and would have thought personal insurance would be in place somewhere very expensive probably to if there is

A local takeaway delivery driver knocked a rouge teenager off a bike when he shot out into the road in front of him from a side road. The takeaway driver was found not guilty but was still done for not having the correct "pizza delivery" insurance as he only had personal cover.

Hi,

I know that Atlantic & Pacific Insurance in manchester are one of the very very few who offer fast food delivery insurance. Give them a call on 0844 873 3921 or get a quote online at courierinsuranceuk.co.uk

Hope this helps a few people.
