What is Business Class 1?

BC1 allows the policyholder to drive:

  • To multiple places of work

  • To client locations or job sites

  • With colleagues as passengers during working hours

It also allows your spouse or cohabiting partner, if they are a named driver, to have business cover. Other named drivers will only be covered for Social, Domestic, Pleasure & Commuting (SDPC) use.

Important Restrictions

Business Class 1 does not cover:

  • Deliveries, including food or parcels

  • Travelling salespeople

  • Tradespeople transporting tools or goods

  • Children as passengers (considered “goods”)

  • Healthcare workers transporting patients, medication, or equipment

Mileage Requirement

You’ll need a minimum of 2,000 miles on your policy to be eligible for BC1.

Fees and Premium Adjustments

  • £25 admin fee may apply if you're on the Lightest or Essential plan

  • Your premium may change based on your updated usage and mileage
