What is a cover note in a car insurance?

We Answered:

A cover note is a temporary insurance's certificate that is issued by the Insurer before the issuance of a policy after the Insured has given a duly filled in proposal form and has paid the premium in full. This note is valid for a period of 60 days from the date of issue of the cover note and the Insurer shall issue the Insurance certificate before the cover note expires.

Will gap insurance cover me if my car was stolen and I was 2 payment behind?

We Answered:

Home insurance covers lots of different things. I don't understand all the fine print of my homeowners policy, but my home insurance agent is always helpful. Try calling your agent or a homeowners agent in your city. http://www.usinsuranceadvisor.com/Home-I… They should be able to assist you.

Angel Said:

can i get a car insurance cover note but pay in 2 weeks time?

We Answered:

I very much doubt it. Even if they did, your insurance cover note is invalid until the premium is paid. So even if you managed to get a cover note as you suggest, you would still be uninsured if you were in an accident or stopped by the police.

What car insurance companies allow you to print off your cover note online?

We Answered:

Not sure what a cover note is. But when I faxed a change to my insurance agent and asked them to acknowledge by e-mail, they e-mailed me a PDF file of the changed policy (also received a mailed copy from insurance company).

For other things too like certificate of insurance at work, our insurance agent for that can send a PDF.
