You will then see the ‘Don’t Miss Your Trips’ Pop up where you will need to go to your phone settings and set location to ‘Allow all the time’.

We’re making things simpler! We’re merging the New Driver app into our main Veygo app so you can access everything in one place. To continue tracking your journeys and remain covered you’ll need to make the switch.

What do I need to do?

If you already have the ‘Veygo by Admiral’ app:

  • You may be prompted to update the app—please make sure you do so
  • Allow the permissions needed when prompted by the app
  • Once your app is updated, delete the old Veygo New Driver app from your phone

If you don’t have the ’Veygo by Admiral’ app:

  • Download the ‘Veygo by Admiral’ app from the App Store or Google Play
  • Log in using your existing details
  • Once you’re all set up, delete the old ‘Veygo New Driver’ app from your phone

Why is this important?

If you don’t delete the ‘Veygo New Driver’ app after switching, your trips may be recorded twice, which could negatively impact your driving score. You’ll have 14 days to make the switch before the ‘Veygo New Driver’ app is deactivated.

What happens if I don’t update my app?

If you don’t move over to the new Veygo app, your journeys won’t be recorded properly, which could affect your policy and ability to remain on cover.

Need further info?

Please see the installation guides here for iOS and here for Android.

Congratulations!

Learner + New Driver Insurance is specifically designed to provide you a seamless transition to Full Licence coverage without having to switch policies.

When you pass your driving test, our database updates your licence type using the pass date from your pass certificate. This process can take up to three weeks. You don’t need to inform us that you’ve passed your driving test, but if you prefer, you can notify us from your account page.

To keep your Learner + New Driver Insurance policy active after passing your test, you must download and activate the Veygo App when we ask you by SMS. The app monitors your driving behaviour, and provides you a driving score based on how safe you drive. We will review your price every 3 months based on your driving score, the better you drive the less you pay.

The Veygo by Admiral app is compatible with iOS and Android smartphones, but there are operating service and hardware requirements to enable things to run smoothly. iOS devices require iOS 15 and above, and Android requires at least Android 9, and for the device to include a gyroscope.

Unfortunately if you have purchased a policy and find out later that your device is not compatible, you will either need to login and track your journeys from a compatible device, or cancel your policy.
