Are managers insured to deliver from there cars

Post by postmandick »

Hi ... my lovely and helpful DIM likes to assist us by making part of a delivery but he uses his own car ...... would he be insured ?

I would rather he concentrate on sorting out this years holiday pick before we start to pick 2014-2015 holidays and not to reduce the women in our office to tears (non members)

still could be worst :Very Happy

He will have business insurance because Doms often have to use their cars to go to and from meetings and other offices.

That doesn't automatically insure him though since you have to inform your insurance company exactly what you are using it for and if he was driving around delivering parcels he's almost certainly not insured because you need multi-drop courier insurance to do that and that's very expensive.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

I was told they do and I saw them do packets in them only to be told they could not do packets as they are not allowed to at the moment the stench of bullshit became a reality and a such never trust a manager with a crocodile smile!.

Dom might be insured but line managers defo aren't , we used to refused to let managers drop us out in their private cars as they wasn't insured, they hated it.
