Auto Insurance Renewals

Right, I've took my insurance companies auto renewal as it was cheaper than the other quotes I got, and I've received the certificate of insurance.

They've got my card details, so I presume they'll take the money from my account. However, if they haven't taken it by the time the insurance starts am I still insured to drive the car, or do I need to wait until they take the premium?

Cheers.

  • If you have recieved the certificate of insurance and given the ins company your correct bank details then you should be covered. Why not ring them for reassurance

    sounds like you have given them authority for "automatic recurring transactions" if you have given them your CC details. I just hope that you stick with them, otherwise you'll have a hell of a job trying to stop payments!
