Why Mobile Motor Traders Need Tools Cover

As a mobile professional, your van is your workshop—and the tools you carry are vital to every job you do. Unfortunately, tool theft from vans is a growing problem across the UK, and replacing stolen or damaged equipment can cost thousands.
 
Whether you park at customer sites, on the roadside, or at your home overnight, our cover protects your investment. Common risks include:
  • Theft of tools from a locked van
  • Break-ins while parked at jobs or overnight
  • Damage to tools caused by fire or accidents
  • Vandalism or attempted theft

  • Mobile tyre fitters
  • Auto electricians
  • Vehicle detailers and valeters

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!”
Beth L
“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!”
