RMI Insurance Services launched for auto sector

28 September 2025  

A new independent insurance broker dedicated exclusively to the automotive sector has been launched by the Independent Garage Association.

RMI Insurance Services, which is owned by the Retail Motor Industry Federation, has been designed to provide members with direct access to tailored motor trade insurance, removing the need for third-party brokers and ensuring cover is aligned with the needs of the industry.

Working in partnership with specialist A-rated insurers, RMI Insurance Services offers a range of exclusive terms and enhanced benefits for members, including access to specialist insurers and independent, expert advice not tied to any one insurer.

Exclusive enhancements and higher cover limits are also available for members, plus discounted rates below standard market prices, all part of a fully FCA-approved and regulated service.

Stuart James, chief executive of the IGA, said RMI Insurance Services represents a significant step forward in the support provided to members.

‘Market-leading’

“The motor trade has long relied on external brokers whose priorities and experience may not always align with the needs of the sector,” James said.

“By bringing this service in-house, we can ensure our members receive expert, independent advice and market-leading terms designed specifically for the motor trade.”

Members are encouraged to take advantage of the service by requesting a complimentary review of their existing cover. The RMI Insurance Services team will identify any gaps in protection, ensure policies reflect business needs, and provide a member-exclusive quotation.

“This is an important and exciting development for our members,” James said. “With RMI Insurance Services, we are putting their interests firmly at the centre and ensuring their businesses are protected with the right cover, at the right price.”
