YurtMan Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Made a few phone calls today to insurance companies regarding insuring a Bedford MJ for commercial use.. Use being collecting timber and delivering structures to customers and hire jobs... Haven't purchase the MJ as wanted to fathom out operators license and insurance. Footman James angle was - We can't insure anything older than 20 years for commercial use. (Bit rubbish really!) but our other department can insure older vehicles, under classic, but these can't be used commercially. BORING! So, am i going to get this everywhere? Why don't insurance companies want well looked after, sturdy old vehicles to be used commercially?Surely they're not that risky? Can anyone shed light on who they are insured by if using something older than 20 years? RYE OIL have an MJ as a commercial truck.. May have to ask. Any suggestions welcome ta matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosrec Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Hows about approaching it from a different angle Try someone like NFU and tell them what you want to do then give the vehicle details Remember though you are entering into Commercial insurance not Hobby pastime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowtracdave Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Will have a look later - can't remember who ours is right now but they were quite happy with our 1979 TK until we took it off the road and bought the Mitsubishi Fuso . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoggyDriver Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 You are contacting the wrong company. FJ are just a specialist vehicle and normal policy insurer. You will need to buy a magazine like Truck and Driver and look in the insurance add's section to find a company that focus on commercial vehicles. Why an MJ. You will need an HGV class 2, so why not this truck that's just been put up on Milweb? Better in my opinion. More power, higher speed, tilting cab (so easy to work on) AND fitted with a crane. All for a reasonable price!! http://www.milweb.net/classifieds/large_image.php?ad=50721&cat=4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
