About new-for-old-cover with your
online car insurance

Whether you have an online car insurance policy or have car insurance with a high street provider, new- for-old-cover amounts to the same thing.

New-for-old-cover, or replacement as new, is exactly what it says on the tin. If you damage your car and have new-for-old-cover as part of your car insurance policy, then most motor insurance providers will either replace the car as new or offer you the cash alternative.

If you do not have new-for-old-cover then your motor insurance company will usually give you the replacement value of the item, with a deduction for wear and tear. The amount for wear and tear can total a few hundred pounds, meaning that you would not be left with enough money to replace your vehicle as new. You may then have to settle for a second hand car or add a substantial amount out of your own pocket to make up the difference for a new car.

It is always worth reading the small print on your car insurance certificate or checking with your motor insurance company to see if you have new-for-old-cover.

Some online car insurance companies, such as Hoot Car Insurance Services, will also offer fantastic discounts for young driver car insurance as well as the opportunity for new-for-old-cover.
