Help! I am drowning under expensive insurance treacle!
I am a part time teacher and I sometimes do supply at various schools or get sent on courses so I need some business cover on my Bongo insurance because it's my only vehicle and this is proving to be either impossible because policies won't do it or expensive if they do.
Anyone else found a good policy which covers business use but doesn't cost a fortune? I am currently with the Camping and Caravan Club but do not have the extra cover. The quote from them is for just under £250 which includes breakdown, legal cover, key cover and protected no claims. The best quote for including business use is currently with LV same as above plus business £345.00 but a high excess of £350.
Any ideas?

Sounds like you need class 1 business use: http://www.moneysupermarket.com/car-ins ... ness-cars/
I added this to my car policy at no extra cost, but it's not uncommon to have to pay a higher premium. Apart from shopping around for a different insurer for the Bongo, which is not simple as it would be for a non-grey import, I think you are stuck with paying a higher premium for the perceived increase in risk associated with additional use of the vehicle.
