Workers at risk of driving uninsured

Employees who drive their own vehicles for business purposes are at risk of driving uninsured, it has been stated by Gocompare.com.

Many businesses are now encouraging their workers to use their own vehicles, but are not advising them about taking out business insurance on their cars.

Research by the price comparison site found that 72 per cent of people have used their cars for work purposes in the last year, although only 35 per cent of this figure knew they were supposed to have cover specifically for when they use their cars for business.

If a car is not insured for damage sustained when being driven for business reasons, the owner may be left to foot the bill for any repair work.

Lee Griffin, business development director of Gocompare.com said: "Employers have a legal responsibility to ensure that, irrespective of its owner, vehicles used on company business are safe to use - this includes being fully insured for business usage."

Insurance costs are also hitting young motorists, with £5,371 being the average sum needed to get an individual on the road, the price comparison site reported recently.
