Our mission
Putting drivers first
“For us, Prima has always been about putting you first.
We started out in Italy, because we didn’t like the way traditional companies were doing car insurance. The policies were confusing. The prices were high. The service often felt cold and slow.
So we decide to change things, by combining time-saving, cost-cutting technology with a friendly, human touch.
Now we bring millions of drivers across Europe a great experience at a great price. And I’m excited to be leading our UK team based in London, as we set out to help you and millions more.”

Prima UK Country Manager
