Is it cheaper to pay monthly or annually?
You can pay for your Aviva car insurance monthly by direct debit or in one upfront payment. In many cases, it will work out cheaper to pay upfront for the full year - but it's up to you. Monthly payments suit some budgets better than one upfront payment.
Can I get a discount on my quote?
You can. We offer a wide range of discounts that could reduce your quote. For example, if you have no claims within the last five years on a policy in your own name, you can get a 'No Claims Discount' of up to 50% off the price of your car insurance
How do I make a claim?
The first step in the process is to provide us with some personal details – like your name and policy number. You'll then be able to tell us what happened in your own words, as well as what damage your vehicle suffered. It'll also be helpful to give us details of anyone else involved; – other drivers, passengers in any cars involved, or witnesses.
Your Personal Claims Handler will then get things moving. And we'll always let you know what happens next. To start your claim, please call our 24-hour helpline on 1800 147 147.
Is there any discount for a member of my household who wishes to take out a policy in their own name with Aviva?
The multi-car discount can be applied if there is more than one car in the same household insured through Aviva Direct. So, if you are an existing customer with Aviva Direct and someone in the same household takes out a second car insurance policy, our multi-car discount can be applied to the second policy, and to each additional policy, up to a maximum of five, provided each policyholder resides in the same household (same address).
Can I still get a multi-car discount if our renewal dates are different?
For two (or more) cars, you don't need both policies to have the same renewal date to get your multi-car discount. It'll be applied as soon as the renewal is due on your second policy.
