About the Company

ERS is the UK's largest specialist motor insurer with an A+ rating. We recognise that for some, motor insurance is more than just a must-have; it's a way of taking care of what stands at the heart of their passion or livelihood.

For these people, standard insurance isn't enough. That's why we work exclusively with motor insurance brokers to help get under the skin of the most difficult insurance risks, helping build products to meet their customer’s needs.

We are at the start of a period of profound change in the motor world. Vehicles are more connected, intelligent, and accessible than ever. It is thought that by 2050, transportation will be dramatically different in urban areas, as more and more people opt for shared travel / shared ownership, and Mobility as a Service (MaaS) takes shape.

As the UK’s largest specialist motor insurer, we have immersed ourselves in this changing world, learning and adapting to provide our brokers with the insight and specialist cover that their clients require along the journey of future mobility.

Our new Class of business, Motor Innovation is designed for the vehicles of tomorrow; from autonomous cars and connected vehicles to insurance embedded into platforms and insurance cover for limited durations
