Complaints

What steps do I need to take if I wish to complain?

Our aim is to provide all of our clients with an excellent level of service. However, we recognise that there could be an occasion when you do not feel satisfied with the service you have received from us. We take complaints very seriously and with this in mind, we have developed a customer complaints procedure which lets you know how we will deal with your complaint or issue.

Should you need to make a complaint, please contact our Customer Services Manager using any of the following methods:

  • in writing: Customer Services Manager, InsureDaily, 28 Station Close, Potters Bar, EN6 1TL
  • email: info@insuredaily.co.uk

You have six months from the date of our final response to refer your complaints to the Financial Ombudsman Service. This does not affect your right to take legal action, however, the Financial Ombudsman Service will not adjudicate on any case where litigation has commenced.

If you cannot settle your complaint with us, you may be entitled to refer it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.

The Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) offers eligible complainants a free, independent service for resolving disputes. You may contact the FOS by:

  • Calling their consumer helpline on:
    • 0800 0 234 567 (free for people phoning from a "fixed line"), or
    • 0300 123 9 123 (free for mobile users who pay a monthly charge for calls to numbers starting 01 or 02)
  • Writing to them: The Financial Ombudsman Service, Exchange Tower, London, E14 9SR
  • Emailing: complaint.info@financial-ombudsman.org.uk

Further detailed information about the FOS, including a description of eligible complainants, can be found:

  • In our Client Complaint Procedure.
  • In the FOS’s leaflet ‘Your Complaint and the Ombudsman’ which we can provide you with, or it is available to download from the Financial Ombudsman Service website.
  • On the Financial Ombudsman website: https://www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk

Following the above complaints procedure will not affect your legal rights. Please provide your policy number on all correspondence.

We are also required to inform you that you can use the online European Online Dispute Resolution platform to provide details of your complaint, which we understand will then be forwarded to the Financial Ombudsman Service. However, this may be a slower route for handling your complaint than if you contact the Financial Ombudsman Service directly.

If you have a complaint against your insurer, please refer to the policy booklet for details of your insurer’s complaint procedure.

Document Delivery

Will I receive any paperwork through the post?

This is an online service and we will send you insurance documentation via email - you also have the opportunity to download at the end of the buying process.

We do not send out paper copies as standard, but if required, on request, we can post out a paper copy. Details of how to request this are shown during the purchase process. 

Driving Licences

Can you provide insurance cover for residents from outside the UK?

We can cover some visitors to the UK, but only licences from certain countries. Enter their licence type in our quote journey and the options we can cover will be shown in the drop-down list. We will need you to upload a photo of your licence.

Do you insure drivers with Non-UK Licences who are visiting the UK?

We are able to cover some non-UK Driving Licences. Enter the type of licence you hold in our quote journey and it will confirm the countries we can accept.

Do you insure drivers with a Commonwealth driving licence?

For some non-UK or Commonwealth licences, we can offer cover if the full licence has been held over three years. You will need to go through our Quick Quote process to see if we have an insurer available who can cover the risk.

With our Learner Driver policies, we can accept drivers with a valid UK Provisional Licence only, there is no restrictions on how long that has been held.

How long do I need to have held a licence to get insurance cover?

If you hold a full licence then you will need to have passed your driving test for a minimum period of 6 months, and be in possession of a full UK, EU, EEA, Swiss or Commonwealth driving licence for the same period of time.

If you are a learner driver, then we are able to cover your provisional licence from as soon as you get it.

Foreign Use

Can I buy motor insurance to export a vehicle outside of the UK?

No, under the cover that our insurers provide all journeys must begin and end in the UK.

Impounded Vehicles

Can I purchase insurance to retrieve an impounded vehicle?

We offer a 30 day impound policy, which MUST be in the vehicle owners name.

Insurance Cover

Can I insure a car that doesn't belong to me?

Of course you can! 

However, we require that you have the owners permission to use the vehicle before purchasing a policy.

Can I insure a vehicle with only a chassis number?

Sorry, but without a UK registration number we cannot offer any cover.

MID (Motor Insurer's Database)

When will my vehicle appear on the MID listing?

After the purchase of your insurance, all vehicle insurance details are submitted to insurers the next working day. This information is passed to the MID and will usually appear the following working day.

Policies taken out for less than 7 days may have expired by the time the MID have updated their record systems; you should, therefore, carry your insurance certificate with you at all times.

Vehicle Usage

What can I use my vehicle for?

InsureDaily compares policies that provide cover for you to use your vehicle for social, domestic and pleasure purposes, commuting to and from a permanent place of work, and personal business use only.

Vehicles

Can I get a price if I don't know the registration number?

We have a full list of vehicles that can be selected without knowing the registration number and our panel of insurers are very happy to give you a quote on this basis.

However, once you have made the decision to purchase a policy we will need to know the registration number for the cover to be activated.

Do you insure left-hand drive vehicles?

Sadly, we do not insure this type of vehicle.

Do you insure Campervans, Caravanettes or Motorhomes?

Unfortunately we do not cover these vehicles.

 

Do you insure horse boxes?

Unfortunately, we cannot provide any insurance cover for these vehicles.

Do you insure mini-buses?

We do not provide any insurance cover for vehicles with more than 8 seats including the driver.

Do you insure lorries?

We can only offer cover on light commercial vehicles up to 3500kg GVW.

Do you insure modified vehicles?

Vehicles fitted with manufacturer specified optional extras, fitted at the time of manufacture are acceptable.

Vehicles modified to cater for a disabled driver or a disabled passenger are acceptable.

All other post manufacture modifications (cosmetic or performance related) are not acceptable.

Address Issue

Can I get a quote if my postcode is not recognised?

If your postcode is not recognised or your property/door number is not showing, then I'm afraid we're unable to offer cover.
