The amount of excess varies – but will be confirmed before you buy your insurance. The amount will also be shown on the insurance certificate once you’ve bought insurance. There isn’t a separate excess for glass claims. The ‘excess’ is the first part of any claim you have to pay. Excess protection is available to add on to your policy.
All policies provide Comprehensive cover.
If you’ve changed any of your personal details you may not be eligible to extend your current policy, we suggest you re-apply for a new quotation.

The refund will be returned to the customer’s account used to pay for the cover.
As multiple transactions will have been made due to you extending the duration of your policy, these refunds may appear on your bank statement/account as more than one transaction.
Provided there have been no claims or incidents likely to give rise to a claim you’ll be entitled to a refund of unused premium.
Please note:
