Getting back into a new vehicle

A new vehicle can be arranged to continue your subscription plan within one day. However in some rare circumstances Karmo may refuse to renew your subscription plan if you are deemed too high of risk.

Damage Excess Fees

In the event of an accident a Damage Excess Fee may be payable by you, which will be refunded if you are cleared ‘not at fault’ by the insurance provider.

If you have been found to be ‘at fault’, a weekly At Risk Driver Fee will be charged on top of your weekly plan for a period of 12-months from the date of your incident claim. If you have another incident in this 12-month period, the 12-months will start again.
