Car Insurance Guidelines

If you are a volunteer driver you may not automatically be covered by your regular motor insurance policy.

​

Some insurers cover volunteer driving within regular motor insurance policies while others may charge an extra premium or impose a higher excess for volunteer drivers.

​

Insurers who do not charge extra for volunteer driving have signed up to the ABI’s volunteer driving – the motor insurance commitment (see button below). This commitment applies to private cars insured on private car insurance. Some of these insurers require you to tell them that you are using your vehicle for volunteer driving even though they do not charge an extra premium.
