Why choose Hedgehog car insurance?

Like for like vehicle replacement following an accident
Cover against misfuelling
Manage your policy online

There are a number of benefits that you can expect as standard on a car insurance policy. Hedgehog’s standard and Premier comprehensive policies include cover to pay for a like-for-like replacement of your car if it’s involved in an accident that results in damages amounting to more than 59% of the last list price.

Worried about misfuelling? With Hedgehog's policies, you’re covered if you put the wrong type of fuel in your car and the tank needs to be drained and flushed. This protection also covers any damage to your car’s engine from accidental misfuelling.

If you damage your windscreen or windows, this’ll have no effect on your No-Claims Bonus. Incidentally, this element of the policy includes recalibrating your car’s ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) after replacing the windscreen.

If you’d like to manage your insurance policy online to view documents or get quotes, Hedgehog offers an online platform that allows you to do this. If you're looking to cancel your policy or pay a charge, you can do that too without needing to pick up the phone.

One other way Hedgehog works to make contacting them as easy as possible is through their 24/7 chatbot. This is designed to answer most commonly-asked questions, and if they can’t, an expert will join in to assist.
