All dates are unknown until you check your records.

  1. Date to confirm

    Review your renewal notice and changed facts

    Your chosen planning interval is 14 calendar days. This is a personal reminder, not a provider deadline or recommended quotation window.

  2. Date to confirm

    Ask about auto-renewal and change or cancellation terms

    Check the actual terms and contact process in your renewal notice. Comparing does not cancel or renew a policy.

  3. Date to confirm

    Check the end date recorded in your current documents

    Confirm the exact end time with the provider. This calendar entry is not proof that cover exists.

  4. Date to confirm

    Confirm the proposed new start date and exact time

    Check the specific car, drivers, use and confirmation of cover with the provider. A quote or payment alone is not the plan's proof of cover.

  5. Date to confirm

    Check the MOT record and booking process

    Choose the appropriate GB or Northern Ireland official service. No MOT status is checked by this tool.

  6. Date to confirm

    MOT date copied from your own record

    Verify this date with the official record. It is independent of your insurance dates and is not a roadworthiness or driving-permission decision.

  7. Date to confirm

    Current policy and renewal documents

    Find your current policy, renewal notice and change or cancellation terms.

  8. Date to confirm

    Target car details

    Check the target car, keeper, ownership and known modifications in your own records.

  9. Date to confirm

    Changes to your circumstances

    Check actual use, mileage, address, occupation and drivers privately; answer the provider accurately.

  10. Date to confirm

    Claims, incidents and licence history

    Prepare accurate answers to the provider's actual questions and requested history periods.

  11. Date to confirm

    No-claims evidence

    Find your no-claims evidence, or confirm you have none; ask about acceptance and transfer.

  12. Date to confirm

    Cover, excess and total-cost questions

    Prepare questions about limits, exclusions, both excesses, payment costs and fees.

  13. Date to confirm

    Exact cover start and end times

    Ask the relevant insurers to confirm exact times, car, drivers and use; dates alone do not establish cover.

  14. Date to confirm

    MOT record and repair questions

    Check your MOT date with the appropriate official service and discuss any unresolved repair questions with a garage.

Preparation is not confirmation of cover.

This checklist helps you prepare information. It does not provide a quote, determine eligibility or recommend a policy. Check your documents and confirm any unresolved questions with the relevant provider.

Do not drive until the insurer confirms appropriate cover for the car, drivers, use and start time. MOT, tax, insurance and current roadworthiness are separate checks. This planner does not establish any permission to drive.

Answer provider questions accurately. Do not change the main driver, mileage, occupation or use merely to obtain a lower quote.
