Learner Driver Cover
We can currently offer cover for Learners when they are borrowing someone else's car.
Our insurers can offer cover to Learners aged 17-25 years.
This cover requires that the actual vehicle owner has an active annual insurance policy on the vehicle, as this Learner cover works as a top-up policy.
Learner drivers need to always have an Accompanying Driver / Supervisor with them whilst driving - and for our policy the Accompanying Driver must be aged 25 yrs or over, and have held a valid Full UK driving licence for over 3 yrs (withou any DR coded motoring convictions) and been a UK resident for a minimum of 2 years.
Impound Cover
Impounded car insurance can assist you in the release of an impounded car. **Impound Policies are currently not available.** When you produce your car documentation at the impound, you will be required to produce insurance documentation valid for a minimum of 30 days. Not all policies are acceptable, as some standard insurance policies specifically exclude use for releasing cars from impounds.
Our impound policy meets the minimum legal requirement to release your vehicle from an impound.
