Explore your insurance options with BCD

(AD) This post has been provided by our insurance partner Business Choice Direct, find out more about our partnership here.

Our mission is to make sure Community Transport Association (CTA) members have confidence in their choices, whether that means confirming your insurance broker really is giving you the best deal or discovering that there may be a better option waiting for you.

Be aware of misplaced loyalty

Since partnering with the CTA in August 2024, BCD has been here to support you — helping members like you save money on vehicle insurance and get expert advice when it’s needed most. However, something we’ve often seen are situations where BCD work hard to find the best available rates for members’ insurance needs, only for Community Transport Organisations (CTOs) to make a last-minute decision to stick with their current insurance broker.  

While we understand that familiarity is important, it raises a question: if your broker only provides a competitive rate or service when faced with competition, are they truly prioritising your best interests? Or are they relying on your loyalty, only providing the best deal under pressure or if they think they will lose you as a customer? If brokers like BCD have done all the hard work of sourcing a great rate and service, we urge you to consider moving to them rather than sticking with your existing broker ‘for old time’s sake’.  

Why choose BCD?

BCD are ‘your voice’ within the insurance market, and since partnering with them over a year ago, they’ve been actively championing the needs of the Community Transport sector. Their advocacy has already delivered real results — including the introduction of an additional minibus insurer to the market, giving Community Transport Organisations, more choice and flexibility when it comes to insurance options. They have also succeeded in their mission of the recognition of MIDAS by insurers – for the first time! Where drivers are MIDAS-certified, they can benefit from exclusive insurance discounts

We encourage you, as a CTA member, to see BCD as an insurance partner who can provide transparency, a wide range of available options from the outset, and support you in finding the best available rates for your insurance needs.  

Not just an average broker

In conjunction with their extensive experience in insuring Community Transport groups and individuals, BCD give all available profits to charities and good causes through their parent company, the Benefact Group. Since 2014, the Benefact Group has given £250 million to charities (https://benefactgroup.com/250million/). When you buy your insurance through BCD, you are part of the circle of giving back to those in need.
