How long will it take for my policy to go live?

Once you have been provided with a quote you can go on cover straight away or anytime up to 30 days in advance, you decide. We will send your details to the Motor Insurance Database (MID) once the policy is live and all your policy documents will be sent to you via email and will always be available in the app.
