If you've chosen to automatically renew
We'll renew your policy using your credit or debit card, or by monthly or annual direct debit so you won't risk driving uninsured.If your policy is due to renew automatically, it will show on your renewal letter.
If you'd prefer us not to renew your policy automatically or want to change your payment method, you can do so online.
You can do this up to 4 working days before your cover is due to end.
Remember, if you need to make any changes to your policy when it’s time to renew, such as the car or driver, you'll need to call us on the number above.
The renewal process
Roughly three weeks before the renewal date of your car insurance policy, we'll send you a handy pack with all the details on how to renew your policy.
The pack will include a schedule summarising:
- The cover and price of your policy
- Details of the car(s) insured
- Who can drive the car(s)
- Details of any optional extras you've chosen
- Schedule with details of your and any named drivers' driving history
Check this carefully as we'll base your renewal offer on this information.

Windscreen or glass claim:
There's no need to contact us - you can get in touch with our recommended windscreen provider directly. And you don't even need your policy number to book!
Windscreen claims don't affect your no claim discount. For example, if you get a chip in your windscreen and it needs to be repaired or replaced, you'll have to pay an excess - but you won't lose any of your NCD. You can find your windscreen excess in your policy documents.
Or call: 0330 678 5590
For any other car claim:
- If you've been involved in a car accident, make sure you're safe before getting in touch. Your claim doesn't have to be reported immediately if you don't feel safe or comfortable.
- Have your registration number or policy number and any documents to hand
- If your car is stolen report it to the police first and get a crime reference number (you'll need this when you call to claim)
- Give us as much information as you can, including if any other vehicles, people or property were involved
