Why do car valeters need insurance?

When it comes to car valeting, insurance is essential. You are working with expensive and often much-loved vehicles and a scratch, dent or bump could cost thousands. Given that you’re often working with water, chemicals, power and expensive kit, it makes sense to be properly protected. Car valet insurance will also cover you against any accidents to your customers or the public. And of course, if you employ people, even on a casual basis, you do need Employers Liability Insurance by law.
