Courier Insurance - What to chose?

Options
Hi, I've started to deliver for Amazon UK during the day then Uber Eats during the evenings after University. I have just noticed that I do not have the correct insurance policy to continue to do this.

I have ran a few searches online and found a decent price I think. With a company called CoverBox, which includes a telematics box. Though includes SDPC and full business use and 20000 miles. Once I have purchased this am I good to go out to work again?

Thanks in advance!

    Courier and food delivery use is not the same as business use.

    Make sure you declare the courier and food delivery jobs properly.

    Paying by the miles travelled could be costly when you need to make return visits when customers are not at home.

    Have you got insurance for the goods your carrying? Damage and loss?

  • I would imagine proper insurance for a student doing a delivery job would be impossible to pay for out of the earnings of that job; just doesn't work; not cost effective.

    Be cautious of a black box if you expect to drive your car briskly to maximise your deliveries...
