What We Like
- Wide cashless garage network (6,800+)
- Competitive IDV calculation (not artificially reduced to lower premium)
- Pay-as-you-drive option for low mileage users
- Quick claim settlement — typically 3–7 working days for cashless
Watch Out For
- Consumables add-on not bundled with Zero Dep — must buy separately
- Engine protection not default — must specifically add
- Premium slightly higher than some competitors for older cars
