Less tech-savvy drivers may find it harder to deal with Quote Me Happy because no claims bonus documents are not accepted in hard copy form, only via an upload or email.
But because customers can view all documentation online there is no need to worry about losing paperwork or waiting for policy papers to arrive by post.
Quote Me Happy offers cover for drivers aged 21 to 75. It excludes drivers who have more than 1 claim or 2 minor convictions in the past 5 years. It aims to insure safer drivers so that it is taking less risk, which means careful drivers won’t be paying higher premiums because of the mistakes of reckless drivers.
