Trade plates are used to allow business users who have a need to drive untaxed vehicles on the road.
If you have a Trade Plate it is important for you to advise your Motor Trade Insurance broker to ensure you have the correct cover in force.
Also you are required to update the Motor Insurance Database with the number details of the trade plate, the same rule applies to trade plates, as they do taxed vehicles owned by you.
The trade plate is added as an additional vehicle to the road risks section of the policy & insurers generally apply a minimal charge
