Car Insurance for Freelance Employee?

Can anyone tell me whether I should state 'Employed' or Self Employed' when doing my Car Insurance?

Im Freelance and the majority of work I do I am employed (PAYE, contracted etc) by several companies throughout the year. I am rarely my own boss in the work I do i.e.- 'self employed'.

I do not use my car as part of my job other than to commute however I do move workplace to workplace throughout the year.

Any help much appreciated!

    Belts and braces is to ask your insurer what they want you to put down.

    I suspect the majority of us would simply pick employed but probably would include business class 1 (which is normally free or under £5 at most) just to deal with the bad luck of multiple accidents whilst commuting to different employers within a year
