If you are using your vehicle in the UK to support the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Ukraine, and you have Halifax car insurance cover, you don’t need to tell us, or amend your policy. You’ll continue to be covered.
If you’re planning to transport goods to aid the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, below is some information you might find useful.
If you’re transporting goods by car within the UK, or the European Economic Area, you don’t need to let us know, or make any changes to your car insurance policy.
In the UK, you’ll be covered as normal.
Within the European Economic Area our motor insurance policy will provide, as a minimum, third party liability coverage for the duration of the policy.
However, we recommend that you check your policy documents carefully for limits of coverage and policy exclusions. In addition, we encourage you to familiarise yourself with regulations around the cross-border transport of goods, and abide by any travel advice issued by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office.
Important: your policy will not cover you to drive in Ukraine. You should also be aware that damage or injury caused by war, conflicts or similar events is a common exclusion in motor insurance policies.

Important: policy changes could affect the cost of your premium.
In addition to fines, penalty points could be applied to your driving licence if you commit a driving offence. These could include speeding, driving a car which isn’t roadworthy and careless driving.
Depending on the seriousness of the offence, the number of points you’re issued can vary. Points could stay on your licence for anything from four to eleven years.
Some offences can also result in disqualification.
Learn more about driving offences and penalty points at gov.uk.
In terms of your car insurance, the main impact of having points on your licence is how much your premiums will cost. Penalty points can be an indicator of risk, pushing the price of insurance up.
It’s important to tell your insurer about any points or convictions though. If you don’t keep your driving history up to date, it could invalidate your insurance. If you have an accident, you don’t want to risk having your claim refused, or your policy voided.
