Driving Without Insurance
It’s illegal to drive without insurance – and an extremely serious offence to do so. It’s also not uncommon for those with insurance to still be penalised for having the wrong details on their policy so, mistakes can also be costly.
Commuter Confusion
Commuting into the office if you work in a big city can be a nightmare, and that’s even before you take into account the cost.
Congratulations!
Now you’re fully qualified, your Learner Driver policy is no longer valid so it’ll need to be cancelled. Please see our ‘How can I cancel my policy?’ FAQ for instructions on how to do this.
But you can now upgrade! (Please do this via the website rather than the app.)
Do this by starting a new quote. Once you accept the privacy policy, you’ll see a box at the top of the page which says ‘Passed your test?’ and you can select ‘Change to full licence’.
Then you’ll have the option to upgrade your account and change your licence type.

You’ll be able to enter in all your details quick and easy and be able to get a quote in no time! Unfortunately our agents cannot provide quotes over the phone or by email.
No problem, we can do this for you, use our contact form here, remember to include the driver’s full name, date of birth, postcode and what the change is.
Whilst the Motor Insurance Database is usually updated within 24 hours, it can take up to a week.
In the meantime we would advise you to please make sure you have your documents with you at all times as proof of your cover.
If you are borrowing a car, then the vehicle must have a main insurer so there should already be a form of insurance showing. If the vehicle does not have main insurance then this insurance is invalid and will need to be cancelled.
There are a few reasons why we might not be recognising your registration. Firstly, please note that we do not provide cover for import vehicles, camper vans or if your vehicle is over 40 years old.
You can check whether your vehicle has been imported here.
Please also ensure that you have registered your vehicle with the DVLA and that you have definitely entered your registration correctly when getting a quote with us – we know how easy it is to mistake a 1 for an I or a 0 for an O!
You can check whether your car is registered with the DVLA here.
Please be aware that if your vehicle is a brand new vehicle, it can take up to a month for our registration recognition provider to update their systems. If your registration has recently changed, please contact us via email for further information on how to get a quote. Please see our ‘How Do I Contact Veygo?’ FAQ for our contact details.
