Electric car insurance

Going green? Great! On top of the usual stuff, we’ll cover you for charging cables, wall boxes, batteries and adaptors. Plus, if you run out of juice, we’ll get you to the nearest UK charging point (no worries, this won’t affect your NCD).

Multi car insurance

Got a few cars on the drive? No problem, you can cover up to 6 cars and 12 drivers on one policy. One policy doesn’t mean one size fits all though, you can tailor the cover levels, extras and start dates for each of your cars.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add someone to an existing car insurance policy?

Yes you can, as long as the car is insured by LV=. In many instances you may decide that adding a friend or relative permanently onto your policy is the best option. However, temporarily adding a driver or vehicle to your LV= car insurance policy may be a preferred option for the temporary use of your vehicle or for adding a driver onto your policy short term. Just so you know we charge a £15 admin fee each time you change your vehicle, add or remove a driver or remove a car from your Multi Car insurance.

If you want to add another driver to your existing policy, you can call us:

0330 678 5111*

To add a new driver, we need to know their:

Full name

Date of birth

Main occupation

Driving licence number or Licence type (Full, Provisional), the year they got it and whether it's a UK, EU or another type of licence

Motoring convictions in the last 5 years - conviction month and year, offence code, disqualification period

Accidents or claims in the last 5 years - month and year of claim, claim type i.e. fault, partial fault, non-fault etc

It is important to remember that we reserve the right to cancel your policy should too many alterations be made throughout the life of your policy.

You need to be clear with your insurer about who drives the car the most often. You cannot state that someone else is the main driver if you’re driving the car on more occasions than them, as this is called ‘fronting’. Whoever is driving the car the most often is the ‘main driver’, with any other drivers being ‘named drivers.’ If you’re not honest about this, it’s considered fraud.

Will I need a Green Card or any other documents to travel in the EU?

As of 2 August 2021, you no longer need a green card to drive your car in most EU countries. Some countries like Albania, Morocco and Turkey, they require them as standard.

If you're towing, you may still need to carry one for your caravan or trailer. Before you travel, check out our information on green cards and driving to the EU.

You may need to display a country of origin sticker on your car. You might also need an international driving permit (IDP) to drive in some EU countries and Norway if you have either:

• A paper driving licence

•A licence issued in Gibraltar, Guernsey, Jersey or the Isle of Man

Check online to see if you need an international driving permit (IDP) or ask at your local Post Office.

If you have European cover (shown as ‘Foreign Use’ on your policy schedule), you’re all set to go with cover for up to 180 days.

It’s a good idea to take your car insurance policy documents and your vehicle log book (V5C) with you if you travel to the EU. Having your Certificate of Insurance and other documents, including any lease documents if you lease your car may help if you experience any problems while driving abroad.

There are a few more things to do before visiting the EU, like checking your passport and any travel advice for the countries you’ll be driving in.

Bon voyage!

Can I insure two cars at the same time?

Yes, there are two ways to do this. You can either take out a multi car insurance policy, or you can take out two separate car insurance policies. If you choose our multi car insurance, you can insure up to 6 vehicles on one policy.

If you need to add another vehicle to your policy temporarily, you'll need to call us for a quote on 0330 678 6545

Lines Open:

9am - 5pm Monday - Friday
Closed Saturday, Sunday and Bank Holidays

For Text Phone first dial 18001. Calls will be recorded.

Am I covered to drive other cars?

If it shows cover for Driving Other Cars on your policy documents, we'll cover you so you're legally allowed to drive someone else's privately owned car, even if you aren't named on their insurance. This type of cover is referred to as Third Party Only.

This means if you're involved in an accident that's your fault, our policy will cover any damage you may cause to a third party or their property, but we won't cover the car you're driving at all. The owner won't be able to claim for the damage you caused to their car under their own policy either, as you're not named on their insurance.

Whether you’re covered or not, by law the owner still needs to make sure they’ve insured the car to avoid any issues with the police.

As the cover is minimal it's only meant to be used on rare occasions or in emergencies, if you'll be driving someone else’s car on a regular basis, you should get yourself added to their insurance.

I am pregnant or I've just had surgery/operation/caesarean - am I still covered to drive?

How do I request proof of my no claim discount (NCD)?

Am I covered if I put the wrong fuel in?

Damage caused by using wrong fuel – if you’ve accidentally started your car after using the wrong fuel, we’ll pay to fix the resulting damage to the engine and drain & flush the fuel tank. You’ll just have to pay your excess. We’ll agree with you how best to arrange repair - if you’ve already made arrangements we’ll only consider payment if you provide us with receipts for the work.

To make a claim for misfuelling, please call us on 0330 678 5550 - we'll be happy to help. Lines open 24/7 (Calls will be recorded). For Text Phone first dial 18001.
