Cheap car insurance for NHS staff, nurses, carers and care workers 

How do you get cheap car insurance if you work for the NHS? If you only commute to a single place of work - like a hospital - a standard policy that includes commuting should give you the level of cover you require. 

If you follow our top 10 tips to get cheap car insurance you should also get the best policy for the lowest possible cost. 


Using your car to visit patients, clients or multiple sites

If you use your car to visit patients, clients or multiple work locations then things become a little more complicated because you’ll need Business Class insurance and there are three levels of this:

Business Class 1 (Class A)

What’s included: Social, Domestic and Pleasure use of the car for the named driver and spouse, which allows you to drive between multiple fixed places of work.

What’s not covered: Most likely exclude using the vehicle as a tool of trade so you cannot transport patients, goods or work documents. Only the named spouse on the policy will be covered for business mileage.

Business Class 2 (Class B1)

What’s included: Business mileage for named drivers and most insurers will insist named drivers use the vehicle for the same business as the main policyholder.

What’s not covered: Named drivers cannot use the car for separate businesses other than the main policy holder’s. 

Business Class 3 (Class B2)

What’s included: The policyholder to visit any destinations that are not fixed for any employment-related travel.

What’s not covered: Carrying patients or their relatives in a work capacity.


Using your own car to transport patients

If you are a nurse or care worker who uses your own car to transport patients then you will need a commercial policy with public and private hire use, which means a specialist broker or policy provider will be your most suitable route to the best and cheapest form of car insurance.
