Car insurance FAQs

Using the Good Driving sensor and Vitality member app, planholders can earn up to six good driving points each day.

You'll need to avoid driving events such as harsh acceleration, braking, cornering, speeding or distracted driving to maximise your daily points. The fewer driving events you have on a particular day, the higher your score.

Members who have a perfect driving day, with no driving events, or a car-free day will earn maximum Good Driving points.

Find out more about how the Good Driving Programme works in Good Driving Rewards.

Did you know named drivers can help you earn points for your Good Driving rewards? When they drive well, all their points go towards your weekly rewards and Good Driving status.

The higher your status, the lower your excess in the event of a claim. Achieve enough points for Gold or Platinum status, and by remaining claim-free (you and named drivers), you'll earn a No Increase Guarantee at renewal.

Once you’re set up, just add their email, address and mobile number to Member Zone and we’ll send them an email on how to get started - add their details now.

They'll be asked to download and register on the Vitality Member app, turn on drive settings and that's it - the sensor will automatically link to their phone when they're driving.

We'll send you an email when you get a quote with us, so you can return to the price you’ve been quoted.

Click "Buy now" on the quote email. For security we’ll ask you to confirm some details and then return you to the price you were quoted, where you can either proceed to purchase or edit your cover further.

If your quote has expired because of the start date you chose, you can start a new one.

Our car insurance is for car drivers who want comprehensive cover.

You can insure yourself and up to three other named drivers if you're:

• aged between 18 and 85 years old from the cover start date;
• are a permanent UK resident;
• keep your car at your home address overnight, and
• have a full UK, provisional or EU driving licence. This includes restricted licenses.

We don't offer multi-car insurance, but we can insure each car from the same household on a separate plan.

We cannot cover drivers who live in Northern Ireland. We also don't offer third party or third party, fire and theft cover.

When you buy a car insurance plan, we'll send you a Good Driving sensor. Once linked to the Vitality Member app, you'll be able to track your driving to earn points for driving well for:

• Acceleration
• Braking
• Cornering
• Distracted Driving, and
• Speeding.

Find out more about how the Good Driving Programme works in Good Driving Rewards.

The sensor also has an Impact Alert, so we know if you've been in an accident. Find out more about how we take care of your driving data in our Privacy Policy.
