I am currently on live chat with my insurer, trying to add business use and getting increasingly frustrated. I have answered that I will have a client in my car in order to help her access community. One of the questions pertaining to this was whether I will have an increase in salary, but they keep giving me nonsensical answers when I ask why?!

It’s because adding business use to a standard policy usually excludes carrying passengers or goods for hire or reward.

Oh, I really wish he could have just told me that instead of repeating it's to do with the level of cover! It's in the context of being a carer though, and it's never been an issue with previous insurers/policies. Eeek.
I've only been on the live chat for an hour, oh well at least it's not a phone conversation so I can get on with other things. Like the important business of lurking on mumsnet!

They just have a script to go through. Don’t bother questioning the questions - you’re just prolonging the transaction.

No do question things especially related to insurance. If you haven't told them absolutely everything your cover is null and void.

Underwriter has ok'd it. Over £60 quid though. Angry
