SME Automotive Industry Insurance

Cover geared towards smaller automotive businesses

Travelers has specialised in the automotive sector since 1995, with a strong understanding of the varied insurance solutions that help small to medium enterprise (SME) businesses find success in an evolving market.

That’s why we’ve developed insurance specifically for smaller motor trade businesses, such as specialist property, liability and road risks cover, along with our SME motor trade product, which is adapted to help businesses that employ 15 people or less. With a Travelers SME policy, automotive businesses can carry out their activities with the reassurance offered by robust coverages.
