Does anyone hire out their cars for weddings? Or own/work for an insurance company that allows wedding hire use and want to insure me?

I have spent the last two days on the phone and called so many companies I lose track and no-one wants to take me on, even the likes of Footman James and Adrian Flux say no.
I want to use my car for occasional wedding hire use so needs to include allowance for hire and reward. Not my full time job and not for hire for anyone else to drive. Does anyone have any recomendations?
At the moment private hire is looking only very slightly promising, trouble is that allowss all sorts of hire (proms etc) and I think is more expensive plus need a liscence and most of them only seem to want to know if your running a taxi.

My biggest problem is Im under 25, seems that young people arn't allowed to start their own buisness or try to be constructive these days! At the end of my teather, does anyone have any sugestions for smaller or more specialist companies that might be able to help please?

Always try to phone if possible. Online is always rather anonymous and you don't get to spaek to the decision maker. Tradex are an insurer that offers policies both directly and via brokers. Ask them if they have any brokers on their panel with a specific scheme.

Phoning definatly gets a better response and Iv got some advice as a result. Bit late now, I think most are shut so if I dont get a call back in the morning I'll try calling them.
