Regardless of whether you have been driving for years or are a learner driver, we have a number of features and benefits that come as standard with our comprehensive car insurance and van insurance policies.
FREE COURTESY VEHICLE
We know how important it is to keep on the move and minimise any inconvenience following an accident so all our comprehensive car and van insurance policies include a courtesy vehicle for the duration of your repair following a claim.
A courtesy vehicle is provided subject to the following:
- The claim has been accepted and your vehicle is repairable and is being repaired by our approved repairer.
- Typically the courtesy vehicle will be a small car with manual transmission.
- We do not provide courtesy vehicles outside Great Britain, Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.
- If an accident happens at weekends or bank holidays then delays in providing a courtesy vehicle may occur.
Please refer to our policy wording for more details.
PERSONAL ACCIDENT
All our comprehensive policies include personal accident cover. This will give cover to you or your legally married spouse or civil partner for injury sustained whilst driving or travelling as a passenger in the vehicle insured under your Insure 2 Drive policy.
For more details on the level of cover and injuries included, please refer to our policy wording.
CHILD CAR SEAT
If you have a child’s car seat fitted in your vehicle when you are involved in an accident, or if it is damaged following a fire or theft, we will pay towards the cost of a replacement even if it doesn’t appear to be damaged.
A claim for a child car seat can only be made if you are already making a valid claim for damage to your vehicle and you have a car insurance policy. For more information on limits of cover please refer to the policy wording.
Note: Child car seat cover is not available with our van insurance policies
UNINSURED DRIVER PROMISE
If you as the policyholder or a named driver is involved in a road traffic accident with an uninsured driver, we will not reduce your no claims discount or charge you any excess in relation to the claim.
In order to do this you will need to provide us with the registration, make and model of the vehicle that hit you along with the driver’s details. This only applies where the driver of your vehicle was not at fault.
Please refer to our policy wording for more details.
TRAVELLING ABROAD
Before you travel abroad with your vehicle you must inform us of your intention to travel.
We will provide the compulsory minimum insurance required when driving the insured vehicle in any member country of the EU or a country set out by the Commission of the European Union.
Provided your main home is Great Britain then this policy will provide you with cover for foreign use for the following periods of time:
Car Insurance – a maximum of 90 days
Van Insurance – a maximum of 28 days in total within the policy period

We will not be liable for damage to sunroofs or glass roofs. Any claim made for Windscreen repair and replacement will not prejudice your entitlement to No Claim Discount. For more information on this and the windscreen replacement excess that applies please read our policy wording.

As long as no claim is made or arises under your Policy during any one year of insurance your renewal premium will be reduced by a No Claim Discount in accordance with the scale of discounts applicable at the renewal date.
You can continue to protect your No Claim discount as long as you do not have more than two claims in any five consecutive years.
