Can I pay by installments?
Yes. Our installment provider is Close Premium Finance. We will send your details to Close Premium Finance for them to set up your installment plan and they send you the relevant documentation relating to your installments.
What if I change my mind about this policy?
All policies have a 14-day right of withdrawal. Should you wish to exercise this right, please return the certificate of insurance. We make a charge of £25 to cover the costs of setting up your policy, and additionally, you will be charged by the Insurer for the period of cover provided.
If the policy is cancelled after the 14-day withdrawal period we will make a cancellation charge of £55.
We will not refund any of your premium if you have made a claim during the period of insurance, or if you have a pending claim. If you are paying by instalments you must pay the balance of the full annual premium.
I want to use my car to travel on business. Can you cover me?
Yes, you will be able to select business use for the car during the quote.
I am currently insured through my employer to drive a company car. Do I qualify for a No Claims Discount?
Whilst you will not automatically qualify for a no claims discount in your own right, you may qualify for an introductory discount based on a safe driving history. The insurer will normally require a letter from your company to confirm your driving history on their policy. If you would like to know whether you will receive an introductory discount please call us on 08xx xxx xxxx.
Can I drive my car abroad?
Yes. Your insurance will cover you when you travel to a country within the European Union, Norway, Switzerland or Liechtenstein. The number of days varies between insurance companies, so you must check your documents for full details.
If you are traveling to a country other than those above you must tell us about this and you may be asked to pay an additional premium.

Yes, as long as you and any drivers have had no more than 5 claims in total, in this period.
Will I still get a certificate of insurance if I buy online?
Yes. We will send your certificate to you within 5 days of confirming your payment.
When will my cover start?
If you want immediate cover then your policy will commence as soon as your payment has been authorised. If you select a date in the future your policy will commence at midnight on the date selected.
