Schools: Occasional Business Use Motor Insurance

Occasional business use motor insurance from Marsh provides annual cover for all staff members eligible to drive on behalf of your school.

Occasional business use (OBU) motor insurance from Marsh not only provides comprehensive annual cover for the total number of staff who are eligible to drive on behalf of the school, but the all important peace of mind for the parents.

A school is a very busy community, with a multitude of activities taking place at different times of day. Occasionally, some of these activities occur away from the school and require the support of staff or authorised volunteers such as parents or guardians of pupils attending the school to provide the necessary transport by using their own cars on school business.

However, if you are ever faced with a situation where you require a member of staff to “fill in” and provide transport at short notice it is important to ensure they, and you, are properly insured.

Marsh currently provides OBU cover for more than 2000 schools, academies and colleges.

Occasional business use motor insurance enables schools to cover those ad-hoc occasions when employees or authorised voluntary helpers (including parents or guardians of pupils attending the school) are required to use their own cars on school business.
