’We have worked to make the process of getting a quote and confirming cover via our website as simple as possible,’ says marketing director
Kwik Fit has announced that it will be offering motor insurance to car owners via its website.
The car servicing and repair company started offering policies through price comparison websites in 2023 and has made its latest move after receiving positive feedback from customers.
Insurance features include cover for misfuelling and lost, stolen or accidentally damaged keys.
Policyholders will also have their no claims discount protected when hit by an uninsured driver, provided details of the other car and driver are collected.
Such protection will also kick in if consumers experience deliberate damage to their vehicle or need windscreen repair or replacement when using an approved repairer.
Short European trips of up to three days will be covered as standard, with the option to add cover for a further or extended visit.
Optional additional features available to policyholders include three levels of breakdown cover, legal expenses and enhanced courtesy car cover.
Andy Lane, marketing director at Kwik Fit, said: “We have launched Kwik Fit motor insurance cover to provide drivers with greater choice and cover with a company they already trust to keep their cars safe on the road.
“We’ve had a great response from customers obtaining cover through price comparison websites, but we know that many car owners like to go direct to their provider.”
Partnership
Kwik Fit is offering its insurance cover in partnership with Aioi Nissay Dowa Europe (AND-E), a subsidiary of MS&AD.

AND-E’s UK based subsidiary, Aioi Nissay Dowa Insurance UK Ltd, is underwriting and administering the policies.
“We have worked to make the process of getting a quote and confirming cover via our website as simple as possible,” Lane said.
“We are confident that many drivers will be interested in a Kwik Fit motor insurance policy when they come to their renewal date and compare us with their existing provider.”
