Some occupations will result in a higher motor insurance premium; for example, a sales rep may have no fixed work address, so the car could be parked anywhere and be doing a fair amount of motorway miles. A builder may have the car parked on construction sites, with heavy machinery and equipment nearby, which would also give a higher risk.

Many office workers, such as administrators, and telesales staff travel to one place of work, and the car may be kept securely during the day. This would represent a lower risk.

Here is a selection of occupations; for a full list, please proceed to our quote page.
