Your First Hour of Car Cover for Just £1 — the GreenDrive Insurance ONE4ONE Offer
What is the ONE4ONE offer?
Trying a new way of getting temporary car cover can feel like a leap of faith — you want to know the cover is real, the process is quick, and the price is fair before you commit to anything bigger. That's exactly why we created the ONE4ONE offer.
New GreenDrive Insurance customers can get their very first hour of temporary car cover for just £1.00 using code ONE4ONE at checkout.
One code. One hour. One pound. That's it.
GreenDrive Insurance is an independent UK consultancy — we search a panel of private underwriters and put you with the best valid quote. With ONE4ONE, we waive our consultancy fee for your first hour so you can try the service properly, on a real policy, without taking a risk on a brand you've never used before.
How does it work?
The ONE4ONE offer is straightforward:
- Get an instant quote at GreenDrive Insurance — takes about 90 seconds.
- Choose a 1-hour policy as your cover duration.
- Enter code ONE4ONE at the checkout screen.
- Pay just £1.00 — your certificate is emailed instantly.
Your policy is fully comprehensive and legally valid from the moment you choose it. No waiting, no phone calls, no paperwork. The certificate of motor insurance is issued by the underwriter our panel selects for your risk — exactly the same comprehensive cover you'd get at the standard price.
Who is it for?
The ONE4ONE offer is designed for anyone trying short-term cover through GreenDrive Insurance for the first time. The situations where it fits perfectly:
Borrowing a friend or family member's car
Your mate needs you to drive their car across town, but you're not on their policy. Adding yourself temporarily costs nothing compared to the headache of being uninsured — and with ONE4ONE, your first hour costs just £1. The vehicle owner's no-claims bonus stays completely protected too, because temporary cover is a separate policy from any annual cover on the same car.
Test driving a private-sale vehicle
Buying a car privately? You need insurance to drive it, but you don't own it yet. A 1-hour test drive policy covers you legally and lets you see whether the car is actually worth buying — all for £1 on your first try.
Moving something larger than your own car
Borrowing a bigger vehicle to shift furniture or luggage? Whether it's a parent's estate car or a friend's van, an hour of cover is often all you need for a short local run.
A one-off emergency drive
Sometimes life doesn't give you much notice. A sudden errand, a car that needs moving off a driveway, a lift that falls through at the last minute — for these moments, instant temporary cover is exactly what it sounds like.
Terms of the offer
We want to be completely upfront about how the ONE4ONE offer works:
| Condition | Detail |
|---|---|
| Who can use it | New GreenDrive Insurance customers only (first policy) |
| Duration | 1-hour policies only |
| How many times | Once per customer |
| Referral scheme | This offer is excluded from the referral scheme — friends who refer you will not earn a reward on this purchase |
| Code | ONE4ONE |
| Price | £1.00 total |
Why is it excluded from the referral scheme? The ONE4ONE offer is already our most generous introductory discount — priced at well below our usual consultancy fee as a genuine welcome gift. Stacking it with referral rewards would make it unsustainable, so we ask referrers and referees to enjoy them separately. Referral rewards still apply to any subsequent policies you take out with us.
Frequently asked questions
Is the cover real and fully legal?
Yes. A ONE4ONE policy is a full, valid UK insurance policy issued in your name by one of the underwriters on our panel. Your digital certificate is sent to your email as soon as you pay, and it meets all UK legal requirements for driving on public roads — it's the same comprehensive cover you'd get at the standard price, with the same protection and policy wording.
Does it affect my own insurance?
No. Temporary cover is a standalone policy. It has no effect on your annual insurance, and any claim made under this policy does not touch your annual no-claims bonus.
What happens after the hour is up?
When the hour ends, the policy expires automatically. If you need more cover, you can take out another policy instantly — just come back to GreenDrive Insurance and get a fresh quote. Standard pricing applies from your second policy onwards.
Can I extend the 1-hour policy?
The ONE4ONE offer is fixed at 1 hour. If you need longer cover during the same session, you can quote for a longer duration at standard pricing. We arrange cover from 1 hour right up to 28 days.
I've had a GreenDrive Insurance policy before — can I still use the code?
The ONE4ONE offer is exclusively for customers taking out their very first GreenDrive Insurance policy. If you've purchased through us before, the code won't apply, but our standard prices remain among the most competitive for temporary cover in the UK because we search a panel of underwriters for each quote.
Can I use ONE4ONE alongside a referral code a friend gave me?
No — the ONE4ONE offer cannot be combined with a referral reward. However, once you've tried us and come back for your next policy, referral discounts apply as normal.
How temporary cover works at GreenDrive Insurance
If this is your first time with temporary insurance, here's a quick overview of how the whole thing works:
Step 1 — Tell us about yourself and the vehicle. We'll ask for your driving licence details, the registration plate of the car you want to drive, and your address. The whole process takes around 90 seconds.
Step 2 — Choose your duration. For ONE4ONE, select 1 hour. You'll see the exact start and end time before you pay.
Step 3 — Enter your code and pay. Type ONE4ONE at checkout, see your price drop to £1.00, and pay via PayPal or card.
Step 4 — Drive. Your certificate arrives by email the moment payment clears. You're covered.
Everything is digital. There are no brokers to call, no forms to post, and no waiting until business hours.
After your first policy
Once you've tried GreenDrive Insurance, you'll know exactly what to expect. Our standard temporary cover starts from a few pounds for short durations, scaling with the length of cover and the vehicle being driven.
We offer:
- Hourly cover from 1 hour upwards.
- Daily cover from 1 to 28 days.
- Comprehensive cover as standard on every policy our panel writes.
- Instant digital certificates — no waiting.
- Protection for the vehicle owner's no-claims bonus, because temporary cover is structurally separate from any annual policy on the same vehicle.
And because every quote and payment is online, you can get covered at any time of day — including at 2am, on a bank holiday, or five minutes before you need to drive.
