UK automotive servicing and repair company Kwik Fit has launched motor insurance services directly via its website.
After re-entering the UK motor insurance market in 2023 through price comparison websites, Kwik Fit has seen positive customer feedback prompting the company to offer motorists quotes and purchasing cover directly from their website.

Kwik Fit’s insurance policies feature comprehensive coverage options, including protection against misfuelling, lost, stolen or accidentally damaged keys, and safeguarding the no-claims discount in cases of accidents with uninsured drivers, deliberate damage or vandalism, and windscreen repair or replacement when using an approved repairer. Additionally, short European trips of up to three days are covered as standard, with options to extend coverage for longer visits.
Policyholders can also choose from optional extras, such as three levels of breakdown cover, legal expenses, and enhanced courtesy car cover.
The insurance services are provided in partnership with Aioi Nissay Dowa Europe (AND-E), a subsidiary of MS&AD, a Japanese-listed insurance company. Aioi Nissay Dowa Insurance UK Ltd, a UK-based subsidiary of AND-E, underwrites and administers the policies.
Until 2017, Kwik Fit Insurance Services (KFIS), owned by Ageas, sold insurance policies under the Kwik Fit brand. This arrangement ended, and KFIS was dissolved in 2020. The current insurance offering marks a new chapter for Kwik Fit in the motor insurance sector.

We’ve had a great response from customers obtaining cover through price comparison websites, but we know that many car owners like to go direct to their provider.”
