FAQs

I've got a quote. How do I put my client 'on cover' with you?

Firstly, we hope the cover options and quote we’ve provided work well for you and your client. The next step is to put the client on risk with us. Here’s what you need to do:

  • Agree with your client how they are going to pay. You can take payment in full from them, use your own premium credit facility, or offer them our instalment facility. Details of the payment options available are contained within the quote.
  • Complete the ‘Confirmation of Responsibility for Payment’ sent to you with the quote. It will confirm the exact process you need to follow to put your client on cover, based on your agency status with us.
  • Send the ‘Confirmation of Responsibility for Payment‘ to us by email. Please note that cover is only effective from the date and time shown on our Cover Note or Certificate of Insurance. If you need cover to start immediately, please give us a call to ensure we have received the ‘Confirmation of Responsibility for Payment’.

How do I apply for an agency with Road Runner?

You can find more information on this website about working with us as a sub-broker. If you want to apply, just complete our application form and return it to us using the contact details provided on the form. We look forward to working with you.

Make an enquiry

Due to continuing claims costs and inflation, AXA PLC has made the difficult decision to review its rating structure and certain rating factors have been affected – including some postcodes and trade activities. As a result of this, you’ll  notice that your client’s premium may have increased.

Across the motor trade market a number of insurers are changing appetite, rating, or deciding to remove themselves from the market. Road Runner and Axa are committed to supporting the motor trade but need to ensure rates cover the cost of claims.

We appreciate the extra pressure that this may place on you and shape the discussions you have with your clients.  This is a difficult time for us all.  If you’d like to discuss your individual client’s policy, please call our renewal team.

Due to additional underwriting and rating, this is also having a small impact on our service levels, but we aim to be back to our 21-day response deadline as soon as possible.

In the meantime, if you have an urgent case or query, please contact brokerrenewals@roadrunnerinsurance.co.uk and we’ll endeavour to respond to you as soon as possible.

We thank you for bearing with us and your continued support.
