Instant does not mean automatic
A fast quote still requires accurate information and eligibility checks. Acceptance and timing depend on the details entered, payment confirmation and policy issue; no driver should assume cover exists before the certificate arrives.
Have the details ready
Use the correct registration and keep your driving-licence, address and journey information available. Confirm every answer rather than rushing through a field that can affect eligibility or price.
Choose now or later
Select a suitable start time and enough duration for the complete journey. If the planned collection moves, make sure the issued timing still matches before driving.
Check the final documents
Review the insurer, exclusions, excess and permitted use. The certificate must name the correct driver and vehicle and show that the policy is active.
