Is my partner or spouse covered?

It’s very easy to check, just make sure your spouse or legal partner are named on your membership documents. If you have misplaced your documents simply click here “Document Download”.

Will I be covered whilst driving in Europe?

We're afraid not, but If you are travelling into Europe, we can offer you separate cover here “EuroRescue” which covers you for the time you are abroad.

When does my membership expire?

No need to call, easily check your membership expiry date by viewing your documents here “Document Download”.

I want to renew

Most customers choose for us to renew their policy automatically but if you have chosen to manage this yourself you can renew your membership here “Renew your membership".

I only want cover for my vehicle

Not a problem at all, just covering your vehicle may reduce your premium, you can get a quote to cover your vehicle with our sister company, AutoNational here "vehicle-based cover". Please be aware though, a vehicle based policy only covers you in the vehicle stated on the membership.

My renewal premium is too high, how can I reduce it?

If you are driving vehicles that are 15 years or younger we may be able to limit your membership to younger vehicles. This may reduce your premium which you can check here "Younger Vehicle Cover".
Alternatively, you may want to consider a vehicle based cover with our sister company Autonational, click here "Vehicle Based Cover".

How do I stop automatic renewal?

You can opt- out of automatic renewals by pressing "Stop auto renew".

I don’t want to renew my membership

We would be sad to see you go, but if you do not wish to continue your renewal you can notify us here "Lapse membership".

I want to cancel my membership

We would be sorry to see you go, however, should you wish to cancel your membership you can do so at any time by pressing "Cancel my membership".
