Groomers Insurance

[charlie mouse]

Hi'a

I am just setting up a mobile grooming business and have been busy getting quotes for groomers insurance and wandered who everyone used.

I have got quotes from Ford Kinter and from the pet industry insurance website. Can anyone recommend anyone else ?

Also do mobile groomers normally insure there trailer / hydrobath etc on your normal car insurance or through the groomers insurance company. The last person i spoke to said it would be cheaper to use my normal car insurance company so I am about to ring them to find out.

Thanks

I used Elders Insurance,great prices.I had public liability and insured the trailer and contents(clippers etc)with them as well.

I remember GOI had the same kind on insurance as well but they were dearer though

Thanks for that I have just called Elders and they are cheaper so i may go with them.

Do you normally go for 5 or 10 million liablity ?? this is all totally new to me and my poor little brain is beginning to hurt

i went with the 5 million and was able to pay by the month which was handy,especially when you're only starting out.Had car normal insurance though

Thanks 4 paws and BC

I think i will go with the normal car insurance as well as its alot more expensive to say its for business.

I am still getting quotes for insurance but Elders are looking good so far for public liablity and cgu (who i insure my car with) for the trailer.

be careful with that.

They may not pay out if you are in an accident while using the car for business purposes.

yeah i know what you mean, i told my husband and he said we should take up the business insurance which is a bugger as its really expensive. Oh well. I am still pretty new at towing so i guess i should pay the extra just in case
