If your vehicle is damaged in circumstances that give rise to a valid claim under Part 1 of the �Loss or damage� section of the policy, we will ask our nominated supplier to provide you with a replacement car.
We will automatically extend the cover provided by this policy to the replacement car that our nominated supplier provides. Our existing policy terms and conditions will apply unless our nominated supplier advises you that they are providing alternative insurance free of charge, in which case you will be advised of any differences in the terms, conditions and excesses that apply."
This is from the Sage policy. As you can see, it expressly states, "We will automatically extend the cover provided by this policy to the replacement car "
There is no mention of 'cover note' or anything remotely like it, so no, I don't see how that can be right
