Insurance doesn’t have to be complicated.
We know – insurance docs full of jargon but it’s unfortunately essential so we've prepared a little guide to translate what's what.
Once you’ve bought your policy from us, you’ll get a confirmation email and a separate email to register for your customer account which you can log into via our website.
Insurance documents are essentially contracts which is why they are so in depth! Documents include:
- Insurance Certificate and Car Insurance Schedule
- Policy Wording
- Summary of Cover
- Motor Insurance IPID
- Terms of Business Agreement
Insurance Certificate
This important document is proof of your car insurance. It contains:
- Policy number
- Insurer’s name and address
- Vehicle registration
- Name and any additional drivers
- Policy start and end date
- Class of use – for example: social, domestic & pleasure
Your certificate will also tell you if you’re insured to drive other cars. It's best to keep this handy at all times!

- The level of cover you've taken out
