The level of cover you have when driving other cars is determined by whether you have you have third party cover or fully comprehensive cover on your policy. If you have third party insurance, this cover applies when driving other cars (excluding hire cars) in respect of your legal responsibility to others. Additionally, if you have fully comprehensive insurance you are covered for loss of or damage to the car you are driving which is temporarily borrowed from another person, as long as the car does not belong to you or your husband, wife or partner. The most we will pay under this extended cover is €50,000.

With our Accident Forgiveness feature, you can keep some of your no claims discount if you have an accident, or if someone makes a claim against you. If a claim has been made or has arisen, your no claims discount may be reduced at the next renewal in accordance with the step-back scale applicable at the time of the renewal. The step-back scale can be seen in the policy booklet available in our Document Library. If you make two or more claims in the previous insurance year, we will reduce your no claims discount to 0% . We will reduce your no claims discount to 0% if you make a claim and the driver is convicted of dangerous driving or charged with drink-driving or a drug offence in connection with the same incident.

AXA, who underwrite the policy, need the driver number of each driver who is named on your car insurance policy (i.e. you and your named drivers). This is to ensure they’re compliant with an upcoming change to Road Traffic legislation that will affect the renewal of car insurance policies. When this legislation is enacted (the effective date is yet to be confirmed), you won’t be able to renew your car insurance policy without this information. You need to provide AXA with your driver number(s) to avoid delays at your renewal in 2024. Simply click here (which will bring you to the AXA website) and follow the on-screen instructions to enter your driver number and the driver numbers of everyone else covered by your insurance policy. You will need to have your policy number and car registration number to hand. You can find these in your policy documents. A guide on how to find your driver number for licenses outside of Ireland is contained in the on-screen instructions. If you have any questions, you can call the AIB Insurance team in AXA on 0818 27 26 25 between 8:00 to 18:00 Monday to Friday, or between 10:00 to 14:00 on Saturday.
