In addition, a problem may arise if you have a second accident and it is found to be related to work undertaken for the first. If this does happen it would most likely result in non-payment of the claim, rather than cancellation of your insurance or being reported for fraud, but could still end up costing you £1,000s. If you still haven’t found a deal you’re happy with, or want to push the envelope, there are some more options to try. Please note, we do not charge an administration fee if you call us to update your policy to show you now do voluntary work.
If any of your circumstances change it is important that you tell your insurer. If you don’t and then try to claim, even for an unrelated issue, your whole policy may be invalid. While increasing your excess may make a policy cheaper, it can be risky. Never increase the excess to an amount you’d struggle to pay because you will need to stump that up before your insurer pays out. The order of comparison sites listed below is for typical drivers – see the tabs below if the combination of these sites is unable to save you £100s.

If you’re looking at ‘black box’, ‘smart box’, ‘pay-as-you-drive’ or ‘usage-based’ insurance then you’re looking at a telematics policy. In the unlikely event that you don’t receive the voucher 120 days after your policy start date, please email insurancehelp@ and include your policy number and start date. We will then pass this onto the provider to ensure you get a quick response. Get a hire car if yours is damaged as a result of an accident or fire, or is stolen and not recovered.
Different insurers have different policies on the matter but generally speaking, accidents that are in no way your fault shouldn’t invalidate your no claims bonus.

As insurers like less risky policyholders, they will reward you if you’re able to go a long time without making a claim. For every year you are claim-free your insurer may give you a discount at renewal. If you have a pickup and are looking for insurance, you’ll need to use our van insurance process. This is because generally 4x4s are classified as cars and pickup trucks are not due to their longer wheel base and the fact they often exceed 3.5 tonnes. If you are claiming for damage to or theft of your car, we’ll also provide cover for up to £150 of personal belongings such as handbags or sunglasses.

A. This is a discount on your car insurance premium. You can receive this if you have not made any claims against your policy, or if you have made a claim and your insurer has made a full recovery of costs from the Third Party. This discount grows with time based on the number of years you have been claims free. The maximum discount is 65% for four or more years claims free.
Broadly speaking, there are three main types of car insurance: comprehensive , third-party and third party (fire and theft) Comprehensive cover will protect your car as well as other people’s property whereas a third-party policy will only cover damage you may cause to someone else’s property. Third party (fire and theft) provides the same level as standard third party, but will also cover you in case of damage caused by fire or if your car is stolen.
If you make a claim following an accident that is not your fault, and the driver of the other vehicle is not insured, you will not lose your no claims discount or have to pay any excess. Insurers charge increasing amounts each year, knowing inertia stops policyholders switching. If your renewal is coming up, jot it in your diary to remember it. Compare comparison sites and then call your insurer to see if it can match, or even beat, the best quote you found. If it can, you’re quids in. We only share the data with those companies required to provide the services under the policy, such as the unit provider. Data isn’t sold or shared with anyone else.
