Compare GoSkippy Car InsuranceCar Insurance Quotes

GoSkippy is the car insurance brand of Somerset Bridge Insurance Services, formerly known as Eldon Insurance before a 2019 rebrand, based in Bristol and owned by the Somerset Bridge Group, itself part of the global reinsurer Arch Capital. Launched in 2012, it has grown into one of the larger names in UK price comparison results, covering more than 600,000 drivers through a tiered range of comprehensive policies rather than a single one-size-fits-all product.

We're partnered with Quotezone.co.uk, as an Introducer Appointed Representative of Seopa Ltd (FCA FRN: 313860). GoSkippy is part of Quotezone's panel of insurers and is included when you run a car insurance search. Quotezone compares your details against the underwriting criteria set by GoSkippy, alongside every other insurer on its panel. That means a quote from GoSkippy isn't guaranteed on every search. It depends on how your profile matches their risk appetite on the day, along with factors like your car, postcode and driving history. Quotezone runs the comparison and includes them in the results alongside other insurers. HowMuch doesn't have a direct commercial relationship with GoSkippy.

GoSkippy Essentials

its entry-level policy with a 2-star Defaqto rating, includes:

• Courtesy car while yours is being repaired
• Key cover
• Windscreen cover

GoSkippy Standard

steps up to a 5-star Defaqto rating and includes everything in Essentials, plus:

• EU travel cover
• Personal belongings cover
• Uninsured driver promise

GoSkippy Premier

also 5-star rated, includes everything in Standard, plus:

• RAC breakdown cover, included as standard rather than a paid extra
• Legal expenses cover, included as standard rather than a paid extra

GoSkippy EV

also 5-star rated, includes everything in Standard, plus:

• Cover for your EV charging cable
• Cover for the battery and home wall box

• RAC breakdown cover, for roadside assistance if your car breaks down
• Legal expenses cover, for legal costs following a non-fault accident
• Vehicle Assist, a courtesy car and recovery service while yours is off the road
• Personal injury and accidental death cover, a lump sum payment for you or a passenger
• Windscreen cover, for chips and cracks without affecting your no claims discount

GoSkippy suits drivers who want to pick their own level of cover rather than take a one-size-fits-all comprehensive policy. The gap between Essentials and Premier is wide, so it's worth comparing what you'd actually use. A young driver on a tight budget might get by on Essentials and add extras only where needed, while anyone who'd otherwise buy RAC breakdown and legal expenses separately should look at Premier instead, since both come included. Electric vehicle owners are also well served here. GoSkippy's EV policy is one of the few that covers the charging cable and home wall box as standard, rather than as a paid add-on, which matters if you've already spent on home charging equipment. Drivers who want the cheapest comprehensive policy going, with no interest in comparing tiers, may find the four-way choice more effort than it's worth, and could be better served by a simpler single-tier insurer instead.
