What this edition shows
- 7 of 25 reviewed routes publish an own-car option; 9 publish a borrowed-car option.
- 7 routes name a distribution partner, representing 5 normalised partner names in this snapshot.
- Temporary cover appears on 15 routes and annual cover on 4; some routes show both.
- 57 of 75 tracked ownership and geography fields remain explicitly unknown (76%). Unknown does not mean unavailable.
- This is the first edition, so additions and removals are recorded as a baseline rather than a trend. Pass-test treatment is not yet consistently evidenced across the dataset.

Method and limitations
The unit is a public-facing brand or buying route, not an underwriting insurer. We reviewed the linked public source on 26 September 2026, recorded only what it supported and retained unknown values rather than inferring them. We did not complete quote journeys, audit policy wordings or verify every firm on the FCA Register.
The dataset is a research snapshot, not an exhaustive market census. Brand, broker, distributor and insurer are different roles. Counts must not be read as market share, product quality, acceptance probability or a recommendation.
