Our insurers & partners
Not sure we are the right people?
Driving a UK-registered car to Europe for a holiday? That is a different product and we do not sell it — a British insurer will cover you.
Insuring a vehicle that is already in France? That is us. French plates or foreign plates, a car you have just bought, a car waiting for its carte grise, a car sitting in an impound, or a car about to be exported. From 1 to 90 days, certificate by e-mail in minutes.
We are a French broker registered with ORIAS (n° 20009338), based in Pantin, near Paris. A non-EU licence is accepted with a valid residence permit or a passport carrying entry stamps — you do not need to exchange your licence first.

Driver aged 21 to 90, holding a French or foreign licence for more than 2 years, for a renewable period of 1 to 90 days. Licences issued outside the European Union are accepted with a valid residence permit, or a passport carrying entry stamps. Drivers previously cancelled for non-payment are accepted.
How do I send my documents securely?
Via WhatsApp (end-to-end encryption, recommended for sensitive documents), or through an encrypted secure HTTPS upload (several files possible). Your data is processed in France and never resold.
Does the cover start immediately?
Yes. Cover is active as soon as you subscribe and pay; your proof of insurance is sent to you by email.
What is a temporary WW plate?
It is a temporary registration (WW series) that lets you drive legally while waiting for your final registration document — very useful for an imported or recently bought vehicle.
