My car insurance has come around again and I've decided to go back to private insurance rather than a motor traders policy. As my occupation is a mechanic the insurance companies I've checked won't allow me to drive other vehicles on 3rd party cover. I don't want to use this as a cheap motor trade cover but only use it when I help my dad get his boat on and off the water and a few other little things. Are there any companies out there that will allow me to drive other cars with my occupation?

try telling them your a technician this may change it alternatively get your dad to add you to his policy
