I was with Chaucer, who aren't the best insurance company to be fair, but they have been taken over markerstudy who seem to be beyond bad. I was thinking of jumping ship to tradex, are they better or worse?

    There is no company worse than Tradex...

    Can you not spend a bit more and get your Motor Trade Policy from an Insurer that will pay your claims out

    My broker seems to think all mainstream ins companies have abandoned motor trade and only the bottom feeders and Gibraltar companies are left?

    I'd rather pay more and have a proper company, but is that possible?

    Do you not have premises?

    Trade from home, genuine business though, any options for road risks with a mainstream company?

    Markerstudy or Tradex

    Hmmm,... It's like, Ebola or AIDS?

    Which would sir prefer?

    Found a third way, problem solved, tradex essentially called me a fraudster when they eventually bothered to answer the phone, all the stories I've heard about them proved to be correct...

    Went to a local broker, got a policy with a decent company, maybe paying a bit more, but have cover that exactly fits my needs of my business

    Now imagine how Tradex would treat you if you made a claim...

    It's normally best to pay a bit extra to have proper protection when it's your business you're Insuring
