    Cheapest option is to skip the insurance and then not **** anything up.

        Qdos - Pay monthly and cancel when you're done.

            Not everyone has a low-level, non-business-critical, public-sector role like you where it doesn't matter if you balls it up.

              Depends what you business area are contracting in as some people get away with £250K while others need £5 Million

              You will however find that most of the insurance brokers will use the same underwriters to insure you so the different in price is a few quid.

                You've described my current role, they still insisted.

                When I was working on fuel and landing gear test rigs they never asked.

                  nice one folks!
                  I went with the wise gingerjedi's recommendation, cheap as a chips and the flexibility to cancel after a few months is what I wanted.

                    It must do. In over 12 years of contracting I've neither had insurance (for anything contracting related) or been asked to prove I have any.

                    It's probably more relevant if you work on critical systems where one slip can be fatal. As a developer I can always blame the testers.

                    I think my aversion to optional insurances stems from my dad always getting insurance on everything he buys, and seeing how much it all adds up to. Currys et al must love him.
