I do and it's bl..... expensive but I would not use my personal vehicle for work without it. If you are driving or using your own vehicle as part of your job make sure you see and understand the policy.
It shouldn't be all that expensive to add the 'also for work' bit to your insurance.
I seem to remember that there are two different types of this. A 'transporting people to and from a workplace' -type and a vehicle for only work - type (e.g. taxi). You definitely want the first type and don't need the second one. Also shop around. Uswitch.com is brilliant, I've saved a fortune (?600) on one quote!
Unless things have changed.
