Is there a difference from an insurance perspective on whether you are driving to a paid gig or unpaid - e.g. an 'open mic'?

It’s to do with what you declare as your source of income. As mentioned previously a bunch of algorithms assess the associated risk based on that profession and pass the cost of insurance against that risk onto the price you pay for cover.

That would be down to you I’m afraid - personally wouldn’t suggest not fully disclosing anything

where insurers are concerned, as they will do their best to evade paying out over the slightest

detail. Can’t remember what I’m down as without checking my policy, but think it mentions

theatre as one of my places of work. ‘ Pop group’ is obviously high risk drugs and rock n roll

stuff to them....

I seem to remember questioning why a company wouldn’t insure me under that

category a few years ago, and they said it was high risk as imagine the claim if I had an accident

whilst giving Mick Jagger a lift home after a gig! Wonder if they still use that example these days.

The insurance companies are basically implying you are a potential alcoholic and high risk. I had similar issues when working in a pub.
