The company's UK car insurance policy offers a broad range of benefits including a 5% discount for purchasing online rather than by telephone. You should be able to obtain a car insurance quote if you live in the UK,  have held a license for at least 2 years and you drive an unmodified, right hand drive car registered in the UK. An added benefit for older car drivers is that they will consider insurance applications from drivers between 21 and 74 years old.

Additional drivers can be added to their car policies provided they fulfil the same rules as the proposer. It is important to note that persons between 21 and 24 years old are considered as young drivers.

Your car insurance no claims discount can be carried forward from your previous insurer, as can a Company Car earned bonus, or as protected no claims from your previous employer.

All work carried out by approved repairers is fully guaranteed for three years. Motor Legal Protection is available as an optional extra.

Importantly, in these fuel conscious times, car sharing* is written into the insurance policy and is totally acceptable, for social or similar purposes, provided there is no profit being made from any financial arrangements, it is not part of a business, and the car can carry no more than 8 people.

There is free European Insurance Cover* for up to 93 days included in the standard premium.

Medical Expenses* cover for treatment of the driver and passengers following an accident, up to £250 per person, and Injury Benefits* cover of up to £7,500 lump sum (paid out in the event of death of driver or any passenger).
