Following our policy with GoSkippy being cancelled due to not getting the paperwork in on time (DVLA lost card part of driving licence when we were removing points and changing address, but GoSkippy would not accept this as valid reason for not getting copies to them)
Seems like it's not necessarily a bad thing as I've read terrible reviews on here.
But now on searching, 'igo4 Insurance' have come up cheapest on comparison. I think they are both owned by Southern Rock?
We're struggling to afford anymore on premium so might have the decision taken out of our hands but just want to base a decision on previous experience.

Can anyone also explain why GoSkippy are asking for proof by email of driving licences please? No-one has ever asked me before!

Thanks in advance

To cut down on fraud. Too many people accidently forgetting to declare points and not having a licence.

I think its coming soon that will will have access to the DVLA. So will know instantly that you forgot to declare anything on your licence.

I have been asked to provide a copy of my licence this year also.

Who cancelled the insurance? If they did then you may need to declare that when getting quotes.

iGO4 are not owned by Southern Rock, they are probably just offering you a policy that is underwritten by that Insurer. The major shareholder in iGO4 is NMG Holdings who have also just purchased Equity Direct Broking - http://www.equityinsurancepartnerships.co.uk/news/Pages/Successful-sale-of-EDBL-to-NMG-.aspx
