Sabre Insurance Company Limited

Sabre Insurance, a UK motor underwriter with three decades of trading

Sabre Insurance Company Limited is a British insurer that has been insuring vehicles for more than 30 years, according to its own presentation. Its core activity is car insurance, which it distributes primarily through brokers but also sells directly to the public through the Insure 2 Drive, Sabre Direct and Go Girl brands. In 2021 the company also began underwriting motorbike insurance.

The company describes itself as one of the most successful insurers in the UK, a claim that reflects its own positioning rather than an independent ranking. It is authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority under registration number 202795 (FRN 202795).

Distribution through brokers and direct-to-customer brands

The broker channel is the main route to market, and the corporate site devotes specific sections to agencies: product information, policy wordings and IPIDs, a taxi list, driving licence verification, a broker notification form, an NCD request form and a CMA review. A regularly updated broker FAQ section is also published, and the company asks brokers to review it before contacting the Policy Operations department.

On the direct side, the site presents two consumer-facing brands:

• Go Girl: car insurance that, as described on the site, includes a courtesy car and handbag cover as standard.
• Insure 2 Drive: a simpler route to finding cover, presented as helping customers obtain the insurance they need at a competitive price.

Sabre Direct is also named as a direct brand in the company description, and Drive Smart appears among the brands whose customers are directed to specific contact channels in the event of an accident.

Claims, incidents and third parties

The website separates the claims journey by type of user. Customers can report a car incident or a motorcycle incident, check an existing claim, make a payment and consult third-party FAQs. Third parties involved in an accident with a Sabre, Go Girl, Drive Smart or Insure 2 Drive customer have a dedicated contact route. The site also maintains a counter-fraud section with its own FAQs.

New claims notifications and claims emergencies are handled through a dedicated telephone line, while general enquiries and other claim calls use a separate number. Policy and quotation queries are routed to Policy Operations.

MCE Insurance policyholders

The site addresses former customers of MCE Insurance Limited, which was placed into Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation in July 2025 after having entered administration in July 2023. Sabre states that it is not affected by this development, that policies it underwrote remained in force for the policy term and that it continues to handle and pay all valid claims. Those wishing to contact someone about an MCE policy underwritten by Sabre are directed to the Policy Operations email address.
