You don’t! As soon as you have purchased your insurance, you are free to drive from the start date selected. Either our Telematics Device provider will ring you to organise an appointment and fit the box within 7 days of your purchasing your policy, or we will send you your device in the post whereby you fit it yourself.

Q. Can I modify my vehicle?

Q. How do I make changes to my policy?
Any changes to your policy will have to be made with our customer service advisors over the phone. We can assist with any quotes or processing, so please call the office so we can help. Please note: there are some cars we cannot insure, so please check with us first.
Q. I have a new registration plate, what do I do?
It is important to know, if you change your registration and have not informed us, you won’t be insured correctly; you may even be pulled over by the police. If you know you are swapping your registration, please call us so we can amend your insurance policy. Keep in mind, with any changes there will be an administration fee involved.
Q. Will my premium go up or down throughout the year because I have a Telematics Device?
Unless you have made any active changes to your insurance, your policy will remain the same throughout the year.
Q. I can’t access my insurance documents
All of your insurance documents are sent through a secure vault system. You will be sent an email with a link and a pin number to your mobile, in order to access them. If you have forgotten your pin number, there is an option to resend it when you click on your emailed link. If you still don’t have any luck, please contact us and we can arrange them to be sent again.
Q. What does my Telematics Device measure?
Your device measures:
- The speed, whether you’re sticking to the speed limit of the road you are travelling on.
- The smoothness, whether you’re in control of your driving and no erratic behaviour.
- The usage, the areas, the length of your journey and high risk times.
- There is also an overall score, which can be broken down into the week, quarter etc.
- You will be able to monitor your driving as you go along your policy, through an online dashboard
Q. Does it matter where I keep my car overnight?
It does! When purchasing your policy, we ask that you disclose the address for where your vehicle will be most often kept, we recommend that your vehicle is at this address the majority of the time, for example 4 nights out of 7, throughout your policy term. Please note, failure to supply the correct information can invalidate your insurance and you insurer may even decide to refuse to deal with a claim.
Q. I need to buy more miles…
The price per thousand miles can be found via your online dashboard and can also be purchased online: HTTP://DASHBOARD.MYPOLICY.CO.UK
Alternatively, you can call our office to quote and process. There might be a potential to add the amount over your direct debit as well, depending on circumstances.
Please note: Miles are non-refundable once purchased. If you have exceeded your miles, you will need to purchase further miles within 7 days or the policy will be cancelled. Please call our office at this point to discuss and purchase.
Q. What happens if I speed?
Quite simply you should always abide by the highway code. Speeding is illegal. We do use speed as a measure that contributes to you overall journey score. How much over the road limit you are will determine the outcome. We may issue warnings, or a cancellation. Give us a call if you want to discuss this further.
Q. I have been involved in an incident?
If you have had an incident, you will need to report this to ourselves and your insurer. Even if you are not claiming, you are still required to report any incidents that you are involved in. You can find out who you are insured with via your insurance documents.

Q. What happens at renewal?
We may have previously told you your policy would auto renew; however, we have decided to no longer auto renew our motor insurance policies. This means you will need to call us on 0330 100 2337 to renew your policy to make sure you are not left without cover
Q. Previous Insurance Policy Cancelled
If you have had a previous policy cancelled by an insurer, depending on the circumstances we may not be able to insure you. If you are unsure when quoting, please contact our customer service team to check before paying for the policy.
Q. Fronting
We must make you aware of a practice whereby an experienced driver – often a parent – tried to save money by saying they are the main user of a vehicle which is in fact driven by a younger or other high-risk motorist. This practice is known as ‘Fronting’ and is illegal and could invalidate your insurance, meaning that your policy could be cancelled, claims declined and you could be liable to pay back any costs incurred by your insurer.
Q. Disclosing Proof of No Claims
You can only use your no claims bonus on 1 policy at a time. If you have another vehicle insured elswhere and you are using your no claims bonus on that live policy, we cannot accept it. However, you will be able to start earning no claims discount on your new policy.
Q. How do I cancel my policy?
We’re sorry you’re thinking of leaving. Before you go, please call us on 0330 100 2337

You will forfeit any No Claims Discount you have earned during the period you have been insured.
You must find another provider for your vehicle insurance or SORN your vehicle with the DVLA. It is an offence under the Road Traffic Act 1988 to leave, drive or otherwise use your vehicle on a public highway without valid insurance cover being in force, unless you’ve registered your vehicle off the road (SORN) with the DVLA by visiting https://www.gov.uk/.
Q. Can I protect my no claims bonus?
Depending on your eligibility, you may be able to protect your no claims bonus. Please see your policy booklet for details of the relevant criteria.
No claims bonus protection allows you to make one or more claims before your number of no claims bonus years falls. Please see your policy booklet for details of the step-back procedures.
No claims bonus protection does not protect the overall price of your insurance policy. The price of your insurance policy may increase following an accident even if you were not at fault.
