Military Car insurance FAQs

No, but if you leave items unattended in your car they must be locked out of sight in the boot or locked in a glove compartment. Leaving items on display or hidden under a coat on the back seat could attract the attention of thieves.

Most of the time it's us you'll speak to but sometimes we feel that the appointment of a loss adjuster will help you to present your claim and speed up progress. Our claims team understand the needs and the lifestyle of HM Forces thus avoiding the need for you to explain how your job can have an impact on claims reporting and responses to letters.

If your vehicle is not being used then you have the option to reduce the cover from Fully Comprehensive insurance to Laid up cover for the time you are away, on your return you can then reinstate full cover for this vehicle and upon renewal of your policy the reduction in premium would apply for the time your vehicle was laid up during the previous insurance period.
