detailed below a few answers to questions we are
frequently asked.
What happens if I sell my

the office immediately. In some cases the policy can be
suspended pending the purchase of a new vehicle. If the
policy is paid by installments these may still have to be
paid and depending on how long the policy has been
suspended for, a credit MAY be allowable at the renewal
stage.

In the event of a claim please contact our office
immediately, or alternatively the helpline number
provided by your insurer in your policy documents. You
will be given detailed instructions on the procedure of
how the claim will be dealt with. In the event of a
