Business use
- You need business use cover if you or your spouse/partner need to use your insured car for driving to different business sites or attending prearranged meetings away from your normal place of work.
Please note, business use does not cover you using your car for commercial uses such as a taxi, courier activities or for delivering pizza.
Social, domestic, pleasure & commuting
- This covers you in the same way as social domestic and pleasure, but also covers you for "commuting", e.g., driving to and from your permanent place of work each day.
- Driving your car to the train station and leaving it there while you go to work counts as commuting and so does taking a passenger to and from their place of work each day.
Social, domestic & pleasure
- If you only use your car for normal everyday driving, such as visiting your friends and family, going to the shops or picking up your children from school, then you'll need to select social, domestic and pleasure use.
- However, this doesn't include commuting to work.
