Now you can talk to us through Amazon Alexa and Google Assistants
Available on Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant-enabled devices, our new Alexa Skill and Google Action (the ability to talk to us) is here to answer questions about your LV= car, home, travel and breakdown insurance policies.
You can ask us whether you can drive abroad, how you can make a claim on your car, home, travel or breakdown policy, and even how to add your friend (Alexa, maybe?) as a named driver.
And in case you're wondering, we're still LV= but we've dropped the equals for this one – we don't want to confuse the bots, do we?
What questions can I ask ?
Start by saying "Open LV" or "Ask LV". You'll be asked which product you'd like to talk about, then we're good to go!
Here's what you can ask...
- Am I covered to drive in France?
- Can I insure an electric and non-electric car on one policy?
- How does a multi car policy work?
- My pipes have burst – am I covered on my home insurance?
- Are the contents of my garage covered?
- Does my travel insurance include Coronavirus cover?
- Are there age restrictions on my travel insurance?
Here's what you can't do (yet!)...
- Get a new quote
- Change or cancel your policy
- Make a payment
- Renew your policy
- Ask when your policy is due to end
- Access policy details (like your excess amount)
How do I get started? It's as easy as 1-2-3
