Swiftcover

Swiftcover is an online-only insurance company owned by French financial services giant AXA.

Swiftcover was formed in 2005 by a group of executives from Churchill Insurance.

It offers car, home, bike and van insurance.

It was the first mainstream car insurance provider to give a discount to customers for having a dashcam installed in their car. These are video recorders that can provide evidence the car is involved in an accident.
