I don't declare business use. Why bother unless you're travelling to different clients every week, when you should have such insurance. Basically it's irrelevant for most of us.Comment

If you don't declare & get caught - it wont just be your insurance payout you wont get. It will also probably mean a criminal conviction, because whenever you are driving on business at least, you are driving without insurance.
For goodness sake, stop being a cheapskate. You want to claim back the mileage - part of that is ensuring you are properly insured.
Just flipping do it!!!Comment
