What is a Cover Note?
A cover note is a certificate provided by the insurance provider that acts as proof that a driver has valid insurance until the formal confirmation documents have been processed and sent.
We know drivers who’ve just passed their test struggle to find affordable car insurance. The reality is that a lot of car insurance claims are made by new drivers, so even the best drivers end up paying more. We’ve designed our New Driver car insurance so it’s fairer, less hassle and commitment free.
With our telematics app, we’ll monitor your speed, hard braking and any interactions with the phone while driving, which means the better you drive, the lower your price. By using our telematics app while driving, your price will be reviewed every three months, so you’ll feel the benefits of good driving much quicker than you would on annual policies. There’s no black box to install on your car either – you just need to download our telematics app.
Once you’ve downloaded the telematics app, it’s important that you keep it installed and activated on your phone.
The app is designed to monitor your speed, hard braking and any interactions with your phone while driving. Essentially, the safer you are on the road, the lower your price will be.
The app also collects data which shows us how often and where you drive and where you park. We can then use this data to verify your information and help us investigate claims.
Should you have an accident, we may also use the driving data to ensure your vehicle was being driven in accordance with your policy terms and conditions.
Following the activation of your app and throughout your policy, you agree to keep the telematics app activated and installed on your mobile phone. If your telematics app is inactive for 30 days, your telematics policy is at risk of being cancelled.
Get a quote through our website in the usual way. As a bonus, you’ll get 10% discount automatically applied if you used Veygo Learner Driver Insurance.
Download and activate the Veygo new driver telematics app.
Drive smoothly – watch your speed and braking and make sure you follow our guidance.
Monitor your driving score and we’ll re-price your cover every three months. Depending on how well you’re driving, you could see discounts of up to 20% after three months and even 30% after nine months.

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.
