Vehicle & Transit Risks for Guest Houses
Many guest houses and B&Bs provide transport services for guests, including airport pickups, station transfers, luggage transport or local shuttles. Once vehicles are used for business purposes, standard private car insurance is usually insufficient.
Commercial Vehicle & Transit Insurance helps protect guest house owners against accidents, injury claims, vehicle damage and risks associated with transporting guests or their belongings.
Insure24 arranges specialist vehicle and transit insurance for guest houses across the UK, whether you operate occasional airport transfers or regular guest transport services.
