FAQs

Is it possible for drivers under the age of 21 to drive on the policy?

Absolutely. Drivers under the age of 21 can be authorised on the scheme, subject to prior approval from Underwriters. Cover may be restricted to business use only, a select few vehicles and an increased policy excess for these particular drivers, but no additional premium would be payable. Please allow some additional time to get your young drivers approved.

Are there terms imposed on drivers with endorsements?

This depends on the motoring offence. If the endorsements received are minor offences, NIG will not impose terms for drivers with 6 points or less. If the offence is more serious, such as drunk driving or driving without insurance, terms are likely to be imposed and potentially result in an increased premium, but it all depends on individual circumstances.

Do we have an upper age limit?

No, there is no upper age limit. You will just need to ensure that those over the age of 70 have renewed their license in accordance with the laws of the land.

Do we have an excess to pay on windscreens and who do we have to use in the event of repair or replacement?

There is no excess to pay on any windscreen replacement unless insurers have imposed a specific increase relating to any one high-performance vehicle such as a Bentley, Rolls Royce, Overfinch, etc. There are no restrictions on who you can use when it comes to the glass replacement. It can be a national company such as Autoglass or a repairer local to you. We suggest you go for whoever can get the job done the quickest and then invoice us.

Does the policy cover driving in Europe?

Yes. Full European cover is provided on all vehicles. Please take a hard copy of your Insurance Certificate with you and, if you can, please just let us know your dates of travel so that we know you are abroad, should anything happen.

In winter, can I add temporary modifications to the vehicle such as snow socks etc?

Temporary modifications to your vehicles are fine. This is seen by insurers as you mitigating the risk of damaging your vehicle due to slips on ice through the cold months. Again, please just let us know if you have added any temporary weather-related modifications and we will inform your insurers as a courtesy.

Are electric vehicles covered?

Yes, electric vehicles can be insured on our scheme. We would just ask that you give us some lead up time to discuss any potential referral points with insurers, but we can and will get you covered.
