Understanding Car Body Repair Insurance

At its core, Car Body Repair Insurance is a vital policy safeguarding businesses involved in repairing, panel beating, and painting vehicles, regardless of your operational setup. A key component of this insurance is road risk coverage, which protects customer vehicles and your own business vehicles when driven on public roads for business purposes. This includes collecting damaged vehicles from customers or accident scenes, transporting vehicles to your workshop, moving vehicles between different stages of the repair process (e.g., bodywork to paint shop), and delivering repaired vehicles back to customers. This fundamental coverage addresses the inherent risks of having vehicles under repair on the move.

Who Can Drive Vehicles Under Your Policy?

Ensuring the safety of vehicles in your care and maintaining your Car Body Repair Insurance coverage requires responsible drivers. Generally, acceptable drivers under our policies meet the following minimum criteria:

  • Licence Duration: Hold a full UK driving licence (or equivalent) for more than 2 years.
  • Age: While we can consider drivers over 21, many of our Car Body Repair Insurance policies offer more favourable rates for drivers aged 25 and over.

What Our Clients Say

“Crowthorne Insurance were very useful for when I needed 28 day chassis insurance on my unregistered classic Japanese import car in order to drive it to and from an MOT for its registration. Quick replies and no fuss. The price was high considering it was only for 28 days but I guess not unusual for that kind of specialist insurance. Would use again in the future!”

“Contact with the Cowthorne team is a pleasurable experience - they are always helpful, efficient and will search the market for the best policy.”
Peter Foister
“Went there for my Car insurance. Got a great deal better than on line and other shops. Boss was a very nice chap and the man that served me Neil ,was very helpful.and sorted me out a great deal. Yes i can recommend this company. Hope i can say the same next year when i get the renew price. If they play there cards right they may get my house and other car and holiday insurance. Thanks Crowthorne insurance.”
Ray Thorpe
“I used Crowthorne Insurance recently as a new driver, and they really helped me out. They are always friendly and polite, never kept me waiting long over the phone or e-mail, and were always happy to answer any questions I had.I had a particularly good experience talking to Jack, who went above and beyond to get me a policy which wasn't prohibitively expensive at a time when the insurance market is particularly harsh to new drivers. It would not be an exaggeration to say that thanks to his efforts, I've saved thousands of pounds.I highly recommend this company and look forward to working with them again when it's time to renew. Thanks guys!”
