Veygo, part of the Admiral Group, is one of the best-known names in UK temporary and short-term car insurance, insuring learners and existing drivers for anything from an hour to a month without touching the main policyholder's no-claims bonus. The Veygo referral scheme is a straightforward, no-code, no-catch way to earn a little back on a product most people already need to use occasionally — driving a friend's car, borrowing a parent's car for a trip home, or covering yourself while learning to drive.
This guide sets out exactly how the current Veygo refer-a-friend reward works, what you need to do to qualify, and what to expect from Veygo itself once you've signed up — the policy types, the pricing structure, the eligibility rules and the pros and cons of using temporary cover instead of adding yourself to someone else's annual policy.
Current verified offer
What you get: a £10 voucher for you and a £10 voucher for the friend you refer — Veygo advertises this as "Give £10, Get £10!" [1]
Referral code: none needed — Veygo uses a unique personal sharing link rather than a text code [2]
Referral link: Open the Veygo refer-a-friend page and log in with your Veygo account to generate your own sharing link
How to activate: log in at veygo.com/refer, click "Get your sharing link," then share that personal link with friends and family by text, email or social media [2]
Qualifying action: the friend you refer must buy a new Veygo motor insurance policy through your link with a minimum spend of £30, in line with the Refer a Friend Reward Scheme terms [3]
Who qualifies: existing Veygo customers can refer, and the person referred must be a genuine new policy purchaser — simply clicking the link without buying cover does not trigger a reward [3]
Timing: you can share your link with as many people as you like and earn a voucher for each qualifying purchase, with rewards tracked on your referrals dashboard once the friend's policy is bought [2]

How the Veygo referral scheme works
- Take out a Veygo policy yourself first, so you have an account to log into.
- Visit veygo.com/refer and log in with your Veygo details.
- Click "Get your sharing link" to reveal your personal, unique referral link on your referrals dashboard.
- Share the link with as many friends and family members as you like, via text, WhatsApp, email or social media.
- Your friend clicks the link, buys a new Veygo policy with at least £30 of spend, and completes checkout.
- Once the purchase is confirmed, Veygo credits both of you with a £10 voucher, tracked through your dashboard.
Because there's no alphanumeric code to remember, mistakes such as typos or expired codes aren't really a risk — the reward is tied entirely to your personal link, so double-check you're sharing the right one if you've referred people before.
Tip: clicking your own referral link or having a friend simply visit the page does not earn anything on its own. Veygo is explicit that a reward only triggers once the referred friend actually buys a policy meeting the minimum spend [3].
What Veygo actually does
Veygo specialises in temporary and short-term car and van insurance, aimed at people who need cover for a defined period rather than a full 12-month policy. Typical use cases include borrowing a parent's or friend's car for a weekend, driving a hire van when moving house, or covering a car share arrangement. Policies can run from as little as an hour up to 30 days, and crucially, using a Veygo policy does not affect the main policyholder's no-claims bonus, because Veygo insures the driver rather than adding them to the existing annual policy.
Veygo also offers dedicated learner driver insurance, which lets a learner practise in a family member's or friend's own car with a qualified supervising driver, again without disturbing that car's existing insurance or no-claims record. This is a popular alternative to being added to a parent's annual policy, which can sometimes push the parent's premium up or affect their no-claims bonus if there's a claim.
Pricing and product range
Veygo's pricing is quote-based and depends on factors including the driver's age and driving history, the car being insured, the length of cover needed, and the level of excess chosen. Short policies of a few hours can be relatively cheap, while cover for drivers with less experience or higher-value cars costs more, as with any motor insurer. Because pricing is individually underwritten rather than fixed, the best way to judge value is to get a live quote through the app or website for the exact dates and vehicle in question, rather than relying on headline "from" prices seen elsewhere.
Eligibility and small print
To use Veygo, you generally need to be aged 18 or over (learner cover has its own age rules), hold a valid UK licence, and be insuring a vehicle registered and kept in the UK. The referral reward specifically requires the referred person to be a genuine new customer completing a fresh policy purchase of at least £30 — vouchers are not given simply for sharing a link or for policies that don't meet the spend threshold. As with any refer-a-friend scheme, Veygo can amend or withdraw the promotion, so it's worth checking the live terms on the refer page before assuming historical figures still apply.
Pros and cons of the Veygo referral scheme
- Pro: No code to lose or mistype — everything runs through a personal link tied to your account.
- Pro: Unlimited referrals — you can earn a £10 voucher for every friend who buys a qualifying policy.
- Pro: The new customer also gets £10, so it's genuinely worth sharing rather than a one-sided perk.
- Con: You need to already be a Veygo customer with an account to generate a sharing link.
- Con: The £30 minimum spend rules out very short, cheap policies from qualifying for a friend's referral.
- Con: Temporary insurance is only cost-effective for short-term needs — it isn't a substitute for annual cover if you drive regularly.
Tips to make the reward land
Make sure your friend uses your actual sharing link rather than just going to veygo.com directly, since the reward is tracked through that link. Encourage them to check the policy total comes to at least £30 before completing checkout, as anything below that threshold won't trigger a voucher for either of you. Keep an eye on your referrals dashboard after your friend's purchase — that's where Veygo confirms and issues the vouchers rather than sending a code by post.
Warning: temporary insurance is designed for short, defined periods of cover. If you find yourself needing to insure the same car repeatedly over several months, it's worth comparing the cumulative cost of multiple Veygo policies against a standard annual policy, which may work out cheaper depending on your circumstances.
Alternatives worth comparing
Other providers in the temporary and short-term motor insurance space include Tempcover and Dayinsure, both of which offer similar hourly-to-monthly cover and their own referral or discount schemes. If you're insuring a learner driver specifically, it's also worth comparing black-box or telematics-based learner policies from mainstream insurers, which sometimes work out cheaper for longer learning periods than repeated short-term Veygo policies. As always, get quotes for your specific situation before assuming any one option, referral reward included, is the cheapest overall.
Verdict
The Veygo referral scheme is an easy £10-each perk for anyone who already needs temporary car insurance — there's no code to fumble, and the link-based system means less can go wrong than with traditional referral codes. It's worth sharing your link with anyone you know who occasionally borrows a car or is learning to drive, since the £10 saving effectively lowers the cost of a policy they were likely to buy anyway.
Who uses temporary car insurance, and why
Temporary cover through Veygo tends to suit a handful of recurring situations: someone visiting home from university who wants to drive a parent's car for a week, a person between jobs who needs a car briefly for an interview or house move, or a family letting a newly passed driver get extra practice in a relative's car before committing to their own annual policy. In each case, the alternative — adding a temporary driver to someone else's annual policy — can be more expensive or administratively awkward, and it risks affecting that person's no-claims bonus if a claim is made.
Learner driver cover in more detail
Veygo's learner insurance lets a provisional licence holder practise driving in a friend's or family member's own car, alongside a qualifying supervising passenger, without touching that car's existing policy. This is often used to supplement formal driving lessons with extra private practice, which is widely recognised as helping learners pass their test with fewer lessons overall. Because the policy is short-term and flexible, families can buy exactly the cover needed — for example a single afternoon, a weekend, or a rolling monthly policy while test dates are pending — rather than committing to a full annual add-on.
How Veygo compares with being added to an annual policy
Adding an occasional driver to someone's annual policy usually means a mid-term adjustment fee, a change to the risk profile of that policy, and potentially higher renewal premiums even after the temporary driver is removed. Veygo's model keeps the two policies entirely separate: the car owner's annual insurance and no-claims history stay untouched, while the temporary driver is covered under their own short-term Veygo policy for the period they actually need it. For infrequent use, this separation is usually the cheaper and lower-risk option, though for very frequent or long-term arrangements a standard annual policy adjustment may end up better value.
