Helpful contact information for Car Insurance

This will depend on factors such as your age, occupation and the type of policy cover and product you choose (NB: it is only available on Silver and Gold cover, where eligible). The cover applies on a third-party only basis if you have the vehicle owner's permission, and the vehicle is registered, insured and legal to drive in the UK, including insurance in its own right.

Please check your Certificate of Motor Insurance to confirm if you are eligible to drive another vehicle (under section 5).

Anyone who drives your car should be named on your policy as an additional driver. You can add a driver by logging into Your Insurance Account.

Adding additional drivers to your insurance could increase the overall cost of your policy but you will not be charged a fee when completing via this service. Your insurer reserves the right to refuse cover based on age, licence, residency and experience of the proposed additional driver.
