Is it covered under regular insurance?
In general, no. Your car insurance covers you in the event you get into an accident while driving the vehicle, so some insurance companies could refuse to cover you in the event you need to make a public liability claim.

Do I need public liability car insurance?
Whilst not everyone needs public liability cover, there are a number of different reasons you might need to consider getting insurance. This includes:
- Displaying your car in a car show or exhibit: give us a call if you regularly attend and exhibit in car shows and you require legal cover.
- Working as a driving instructor: we offer driving instructor insurance for ADIs and PDIs. Public liability cover can be added to your insurance with little extra fuss.
- Working as a courier: you can easily add public liability cover to your self-employed courier van insurance.
As a general rule, if you use your vehicle for work or shows, this can put you at risk. A claim against you could be as simple as a scenario in which you leave your car door open – whether this is to make a delivery or as part of a car exhibit – and a member of the public walks into it.
What does public liability insurance cover?

- Medical bills: in the event you or your stationary car accidentally harms someone
- Repair costs: should you damage someone’s property, whether this be private or commercial property
- Legal expenses: this can include the costs involved with legal proceedings in the event that someone makes a claim against you
