The best of both worlds. You enjoy the benefit of rewards from the Monthly Payback as well as the Payback Bonus products. - Monthly Payback:
By insuring right, driving well and driving less, you can earn as much as 75% of your comprehensive car premium back – in cash, every single month. - Payback Booster:
Boost your Monthly Payback or Payback earnings by activating the Booster at a small additional premium. - Payback Bonus:
If you do not claim or interrupt your cover for a period of 4 years, we give you cash back: all your first year’s premiums or up to 25% of your total premiums, depending on which is the lower amount. (Also available for standalone Comprehensive Home Contents and Buildings cover.)
