Before you claim:

Got a pressing question? We might have already answered it in our FAQs
"Hey Google, Alexa... open LV"
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 and breakdown insurance policies.
Ask us if the contents of your garage are covered, if you're covered on your home insurance if your pipes have burst and how you can make a claim.
Oh, 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? So when you want to chat, simply refer to us as LV.
