You will need insurance, the private individuals who hire from you, their insurance will not cover the rental. If it is companies that you hire to, you will find most of them will have their own motor insurance, you will still have to pay a small amount of insurance for this as well, but not nearly as high as a private individual.

I would shop around for insurance companies who cater for the hire trade, go to the BVRLA ( British Vehicle Rental, Leasing Association that is, if you live in the UK!), they may be able to assist you.

ok, some small business can be handled with a rider on your perosnal insurnce.

But you need to sit down with your insurnace agent and review all the polices and see what is needed.
