Frequently asked questions
How long does an upgrade or downgrade take?
Timing depends on the insurer, but most endorsements are processed within 24–72 hours after all documents are submitted.
Will changing from Comprehensive to TPL refund any premium?
Partial refunds or adjustments depend on the insurer's pro-rata rules and the remaining policy period; we will calculate expected refunds before you confirm.
Do I need a vehicle inspection to change cover?
Insurers may require a vehicle inspection or photos, especially when upgrading to Comprehensive; we coordinate any required checks.
Can I keep add-ons like roadside assistance when downgrading to TPL?
Some add-ons can be retained if supported by the insurer with TPL; we review each add-on and cost implications before making changes.
Will changing cover affect my no-claims discount (NCD)?
NCD treatment varies by insurer; switching cover typically does not reset earned NCD but specific impact will be confirmed during the quote stage.
