πŸš—βš οΈ Are You Using Your Car for Work Without the Right Cover?

Many drivers don’t realise that using their car for work β€” even occasionally β€” may require business car insurance.

If you’re only insured for personal use, you could be at risk if you:

βœ” Travel between different workplaces
βœ” Use your car for business purposes

Having the wrong cover could lead to claims being declined, so it’s important to check your policy carefully.
