Private Car and Van Payment Options

Options Available to Control Your Insurance Costs

We understand that, during this difficult time, you may be encountering difficulties making your payment in full. To help support you during this challenging time, we have developed an instalments plan to help you bring your payments up to date. The instalment plan breaks your outstanding amount into 3 equal weekly payments with 7 day intervals between each payment. All you need to take this option is go to our payment page and make your first payment; the following instalments will be collected automatically.

Example of how the instalment plan works

Amount Owed: £150
3 Weekly Payments of: £50

Breakdown of Instalments:
1st Payment Due Today: £50 (Paid via online payment portal)
2nd Payment Due in 7 Days: £50 (Automatically Collected)
3rd Payment Due in 14 Days: £50 (Automatically Collected)

As long as you are making your instalment payments on time, your insurance policy will stay in force and will not be cancelled. Any associated charges due to missed payments are included within the amount owed.
