The whole family's driving, looked after.
The MOT date nobody remembers, the insurance that quietly auto-renews, the service history that lives in three different glove boxes. Car Companion brings it together in one place, shared across everyone in your household, telling you what needs doing before it becomes a problem.

How it works
From forgotten to looked after,
in three steps.
Enter your registration
Type the number in and we’ll do the rest, for your whole householdWe fetch the car’s details
MOT status, road tax and outstanding vehicles from DVSA and DVLA records plus technical details such as model details, fuel, Euro status, engine size
You get reminded
Nudges at 60, 30 and 14 days before anything expires. Insurance, driving license and parking permits too once addedBuilt for households, not just individuals.
Car Companion is great for one, but even better when you invite the family – Dad’s car, Mum’s car, Ellie’s Corsa. Everyone sees the same picture of what’s due, one reminder goes to the right person and no-one has to nag.
Almost a quarter of MOTs were carried out late in 2023*
That’s 7.6 million vehicle owners risking a fine by driving without a valid MOT.
Features
Everything about your car, all in one place.
🚗
Family sharing
One household, every car, everyone’s dates. When it’s time for an MOT, or if someone has an accident, they’ve got what they need.📋
MOT
Check your car is legal with reminders at 60, 30 and 14 days before your MOT expires, and details of your car’s MOT history.
💷
Road Tax
Track your car’s tax status at a glance, with reminders before it’s due to renew — or before you need to declare SORN.
📊
Mileage
Log your car’s mileage over time and see how it compares to your average, so you don’t exceed limits on your lease or insurance.
🛞
Tyre Pressures
Store your car’s recommended tyre pressures, so it’s easy to check you’ve got them right before a long drive.
🛡️
Insurance
Upload or take pictures of your car’s insurance details so you’ve always got proof of coverage to hand.
🅿️
Parking Permits
Upload details of resident, visitor and work passes to Car Companion, with links to your local authority’s portal to make renewing easier.
🆘
Breakdown Service
Store details of your breakdown cover — AA, RAC, Green Flag — so even without your card, you’ve got what you need to hand.
🧑🔧
Servicing
Log your car’s full service history, with simple steps to make booking your next service or MOT easier.
✅
Tasks
Build a list of tasks and get reminded when they’re due, with simple checklists to keep you on track.
🛣️
Clean Air Zone
See at a glance which Clean Air Zones and ULEZ your car is permitted to enter, and which ones you’ll need to pay for.
ℹ️
Technical Data
Keep your car’s technical details — engine size, dimensions, weight and more — all together, ready whenever you need them.
Privacy
Your data, always.
Sharing with someone in Car Companion isn’t all-or-nothing. Turn on their vehicles, their driving licence, their breakdown cover – pick exactly what they see, and nothing more.
Change your mind, any time. Flip a toggle off and that share ends immediately – no request, no approval, no waiting on the other person.
They’re not notified when you do. Turning something off doesn’t send an alert or start a conversation. It just stops.
It’s two-way, but never forced. What they share with you and what you share with them are separate – you can receive their alerts without giving them yours.

Questions
It’s one place for everything about your family’s cars – MOT and tax dates, vehicle mileage, tyre pressures, service history, insurance, driving license, breakdown service membership and parking permits, shared across everyone who drives them, so nobody’s digging through glovebox paperwork or a different person’s inbox.
Add the people in your household and everyone sees the same vehicles, reminders, and history, whoever added the car, whoever’s turn it is to book the MOT. It’s the one thing a single-person car app can’t do.
No. Car Companion can get the basics from the DVLA and DVSA within seconds – all you need to do is enter the registration number. Other things like driving licenses, breakdown service membership and insurance can be added by taking a photo.
Free covers the basics for one car. Couple, Family, and Super-Family tiers add more vehicles, more drivers, and the deeper nudges — like “your insurance renews in 24 days, here’s what to check before you auto-renew.”
Yes. MOT, tax, and insurance nudges land with enough time to act, not a panicked email the morning it’s due.
Your vehicle and driver data is yours, used to run the reminders and features you see, never sold on. You control who in your household sees what.
