Car insurance

[Banana]

Im going to be needing insurance.

Can anyone tell me if its essential to use motor minder if you are a childminder? I havnt had a quote from them as yet, i have had some from other companies and have got some resonable ones (for phantom cars that i dont own yet lol but will on sunday). Are motor minder much more expensive? Also - for those of you who dont use them can you recommend any companies? Also do I have top be fully comp?

Thanks all

You can use any insurance company provided that they will cover you for business use.

The rest is up to you :)

I would shop around if I were you, perhaps try one of those online price comparison sites, you might get a bargain.

Good luck

All I can tell you is it's not essential to use motor minder - I use diamond and have business insurance and as far as I know that's absolutely fine

P.S. we recently changed insurance and are now with SAGA - what does that tell you? :laughing:

Motor minder are useless for young drivers with no no claims! they quoted me over £2000 where as everyone else was closer to £1000!

I would never have anything less than fully comp just in case especially with you being a new driver. Although 3rd party is legal cover but if you intend on using your car for minding i would recomend fully comp!

try using www.confused.com they search most places for you apart from direct line. Also tesco are normally quite good for young drivers. We are with kwik fit at the minute and are really good they gave us a free MOT and were cheapest.
