Do you drive without business insurance?

Do you or your staff drive goods and items without the right insurance?
The money saved from having a member of staff deliver an urgent item or package, rather than a same day courier, is often wiped out if they have an accident. In fact it can cost a whole lot more.

People are often insured for their journeys too and from work, but not for work related errands that they may carry out. If they have an accident (their fault, or someone elses) then the items are not insured and neither are they. It's essential if staff are going to deliver anything work related, that you check that they have business insurance.

You may think its more expensive to use a courier service, and truth be told even if you were aware of the facts about insurance, corporate manslaughter and your liabilities / responsibilities, you would still choose to make the false economy or sending your staff to deliver the goods.
