Get monthly rolling insurance you can cancel anytime.
If you only need car insurance for a short period of time, then this is the cover for you. There’s no long-term commitment, you just pay for the time you need. And, if you’re driving someone else’s car, it protects their no claims bonus because it’s a separate policy in your name.

How do refunds work?
If you cancel immediately and your cover has started, we will calculate a risk-based refund that considers duration of cover and the level of risk incurred.
If you cancel at the end of the current cycle, we will not start a new month of cover and your policy will cancel at the end of your current policy period.
If you’ve paid for the next cycle already, you will receive an email confirming the cancellation and if any refund amount is due.
Any refunds due will be returned to the original payment method automatically within 3 to 10 days. Please see your Insurance Guide for our Cancellations policy.
Here’s how to cancel (it’s really easy!):
If your policy hasn’t started yet, you will receive a full refund.
If your policy has already started, we’ll recalculate the price based on a shorter policy and refund the difference. If any refund is due, this will be returned to the original payment method automatically within 3 to 10 days.
Please see your Insurance Guide for our Cancellations policy.
Unfortunately from time to time we are unable to provide insurance cover to somebody. We take a lot of factors into account relating to the person, vehicle and circumstance just to name a few! Please note that our Customer Care agents are not able to change this decision or provide specific reasoning.
We know this is frustrating and we are constantly reviewing our underwriting criteria but unfortunately for now we can’t offer a policy. In some cases you may be able to get cover on a different vehicle – please feel free to find out by running another quote.
Congratulations!
Now you’re fully qualified, your Learner Driver policy is no longer valid so it’ll need to be cancelled. Please see our ‘How can I cancel my policy?‘ FAQ for instructions on how to do this.
But you can now upgrade! (Please do this via the website rather than the app.)
Do this by starting a new quote. Once you accept the privacy policy, you’ll see a box at the top of the page which says ‘Passed your test?’ and you can select ‘Change to full licence’.
Then you’ll have the option to upgrade your account and change your licence type.

You’ll be able to enter in all your details quick and easy and be able to get a quote in no time! Unfortunately our agents cannot provide quotes over the phone or by email.
No problem, we can do this for you, use our contact form, remember to include the driver’s full name, date of birth, postcode and what the change is.
Whilst the Motor Insurance Database is usually updated within 24 hours, it can take up to a week.
In the meantime we would advise you to please make sure you have your documents with you at all times as proof of your cover.
If you are borrowing a car, then the vehicle must have a main insurer so there should already be a form of insurance showing. If the vehicle does not have main insurance then this insurance is invalid and will need to be cancelled.
There are a few reasons why we might not be recognising your registration. Firstly, please note that we do not provide cover for import vehicles, camper vans or if your vehicle is over 40 years old.
You can check whether your vehicle has been imported here.
Please also ensure that you have registered your vehicle with the DVLA and that you have definitely entered your registration correctly when getting a quote with us – we know how easy it is to mistake a 1 (one) for an I or a 0 (zero) for an O!
You can check whether your car is registered with the DVLA here.
Please be aware that if your vehicle is a brand new vehicle, it can take up to a month for our registration recognition provider to update their systems. If your registration has recently changed, please contact us via email for further information on how to get a quote. Please see our ‘How Do I Contact Veygo?‘ FAQ for our contact details.
