What is 1st CENTRAL' s Refer a Friend offer?

Published July 2023

Our Refer a Friend offer is available to our existing customers. It lets you introduce your friends and family to 1st Central car insurance. If they take out a new car insurance policy via this offer and their purchase is subsequently validated by us, as the referrer, you’ll receive a £50 Amazon Gift Card as a reward. There’s no limit to the amount of times you can refer someone to 1st Central car insurance, meaning you’ll receive a £50 Amazon Gift Card with each validated new policy.

If you’ve been referred as part of our Refer a Friend offer, once you take out a policy with 1st Central, and once your insurance policy has been validated, not only will your friend get a £50 Amazon Gift Card, but you'll be entered into a draw to win a £250 Amazon Gift Card.
