FAQs

Before you hit the road

Can't find what you need? Our help centre has more answers.

Do I need insurance to drive someone else's car?

Yes. You must be insured to drive any car on UK roads. Temporary cover insures you on that car for a set time, without being added to the owner's policy.

Can I insure a car I've just bought?

Yes. Drive-away cover lets you drive a newly bought car home and use it until your annual policy starts.

Will it affect the owner's no-claims bonus?

No. The policy is in your name, so any claim goes on your temporary policy, not theirs.

How long can I be covered for?

Anywhere from 1 hour to 30 days. You can buy another policy if you need longer.

Who can get cover?

It depends on your age, licence and driving history. You'll see whether we can cover you during your quote.
