Class 1 Business Use Cover

Hi all,
Might seem like a silly question but are there any caveats to insuring my car for class 1 business use as apposed to SDP+C? Bizarrely when I run a quote through it becomes about 15% cheaper by adding business cover. While I can't say I've used my car for business in the past as work provide a hire car for this I could very occasionally be required to drive between sites. Basically I'm assuming insuring for business includes SDP+C anyway as its a higher level of cover so there should be no issues or questions asked but wanted to check?
I'd appreciate any thoughts.
Cheers,

I've never found business use resulted in reduced premiums; but I've only ever seen the same premiums and the 'vanilla' insurers disappear from the quote.I am a mortgage broker.

Yeah I haven't before. Its a strange one but getting the same results from numerous comparison websites and multiple insurers. Just thought it was worth an ask as to any reason why not go for it?

No reason. Assuming it's the best deal across the market then snap it up0
