When you put your age along with H&R I am afraid you are going to get hit hard in the pocket.

That's just the way things are [name], we (couriers) get slapped in the face on all counts. Its a hard game to be in but if you got the work boy is it fun. I see you are local too.

Over £4k per year on insurance along, without the cost of buying a van and all other cost of running a business. Its wrong that couriers are charged so much.

That's an improvement. But now that I've uploaded all of them, my Profile only says I've got GIT. Must try harder!

As is typical i have a joint GIT/PL policy. I guess i will have to load the same info twice? Its a new venture by an underwriter through Coversure and cost £279 a year. I suspect i could have done better but not by much and im more inclined to consider they would look after me in the event of a claim rather than some distance internet unknown name

I had a quote from Southern rock for 1420.00. I asked for European cover and was told the policy included 30 days cover in Europe. Can anyone tell me, how would they know if I had been to Europe 30 times? If I go over the water (or under it!) and nothing untoward happens, do I declare to them I have been or not? How would they find out?
