The benefits of IAM membership
Will I get cheaper insurance
When you pass the Advanced Driver or Rider test you can ask our affiliated insurer IAM Surety for a quote. It’ll be based on several factors, so we can’t guarantee anything. However, 90% of the time IAM Surety can beat other quotations – over 35,000 IAM members get better insurance policies with IAM Surety.
