Why ZapDrive
Every policy includes fully comprehensive cover — not a watered-down third-party option.
From a single hour to 7 days. No annual contract, no cancellation fees, no wasted premium.
Your certificate of motor insurance is emailed the moment your cover is confirmed.
A separate policy in your name, so a claim won't touch the car owner's no-claims bonus.
