Affiliate Disclosure

Fast Pass Glasgow uses affiliate links on selected product and service pages.

Where an eligible purchase or booking is made through one of these links, Fast Pass may receive commission without normally increasing the price paid by the customer.

This disclosure explains:

what an affiliate link is;
where affiliate links may appear;
how commission works;
how recommendations are approached;
which decisions remain your responsibility;
how third-party websites differ from Fast Pass; and
how commercial links are identified.

What is an affiliate link?

An affiliate link is a tracked link to a third-party retailer, service provider or commercial website.

If you click an affiliate link and complete an eligible purchase, booking or registration, the third party may pay Fast Pass Glasgow a commission.

This commission is normally paid from the retailer or provider’s marketing budget rather than being added directly to your price.

However, you should always compare:

the current price;
other available retailers;
delivery costs;
renewal prices;
policy terms;
cancellation rights;
product suitability; and
any restrictions or exclusions.

Where affiliate links may appear

Affiliate links may appear on pages about:

recommended products;
dash cams;
first cars;
garages and servicing;
mobile mechanics;
car parts;
breakdown cover;
insurance-related information;
vehicle accessories;
new-driver products;
theory-test products; and
other relevant learner or driver services.

Not every link on these pages is an affiliate link.

Current commercial content areas

Fast Pass currently publishes guides including:

Some of these pages may include commercial links. Others may provide information without linking to a commission-paying provider.

Affiliate partners and merchants

Fast Pass may use approved affiliate links for relevant merchants or platforms.

Examples may include providers connected with:

vehicle repair;
garage comparison;
dash cams;
car parts;
vehicle accessories; and
other motoring products or services.

The existence of an affiliate relationship does not mean that Fast Pass controls the merchant, its stock, its prices or its service.

How affiliate links are identified

Pages containing affiliate links may include wording such as:

“This page contains affiliate links. Fast Pass may earn commission from an eligible purchase at no extra cost to you.”

Commercial links may also use technical link attributes such as:

sponsored; and
nofollow.

These attributes help search engines and other systems understand the commercial nature of the relationship.

Commission does not guarantee a recommendation

Affiliate programmes can influence which merchants are available to link to, but commission should not be treated as proof that a product is suitable for you.

Fast Pass aims to consider factors such as:

relevance to learners or new drivers;
price and value;
features;
known limitations;
availability;
terms;
customer requirements;
road safety;
legal use; and
whether an alternative may be more appropriate.

Clutch is owned by Fast Pass Glasgow

Clutch is not an external affiliate product.

Clutch by Fast Pass is a theory-test learning platform created and operated as part of the Fast Pass business.

Links to Clutch are therefore links to a Fast Pass product rather than affiliate links to an unrelated merchant.

Where Fast Pass compares Clutch with other theory-test resources, the commercial connection should be stated clearly.

Third-party websites are separate businesses

External retailers and service providers control their own:

prices;
stock;
availability;
delivery;
payments;
subscriptions;
renewals;
refunds;
warranties;
insurance terms;
service standards;
privacy policies; and
complaints processes.

Fast Pass is not responsible for operating these third-party websites.

Prices and availability can change

A price, discount or availability statement may change after a Fast Pass page is published.

Before purchasing, check:

the final checkout price;
VAT;
delivery charges;
installation costs;
renewal charges;
minimum terms;
cancellation fees;
stock;
eligibility; and
whether the product remains suitable.

Insurance and financial products

General website information about insurance, vehicle finance or other financial products is not personal regulated financial advice.

When considering an insurance product:

answer all questions accurately;
read the policy wording;
check exclusions;
check compulsory and voluntary excesses;
check monthly-payment charges;
confirm the correct main driver;
check telematics restrictions;
review cancellation terms; and
seek regulated advice where required.

Fast Pass does not make an insurer responsible for your individual needs merely by linking to it.

Vehicle products and road legality

You remain responsible for checking that a product is:

compatible with your vehicle;
installed correctly;
used legally;
safe;
declared to an insurer where necessary;
permitted under finance or lease terms;
not obstructing the driver’s view;
not creating a dangerous distraction; and
appropriate for the intended use.

Dash cams

Dash-cam links may generate commission.

Before buying or fitting one, check:

image quality;
storage;
parking mode;
power requirements;
installation;
windscreen positioning;
privacy considerations;
subscription costs;
app compatibility; and
warranty terms.

Garages and mechanics

Fast Pass may link to platforms that help users find or compare garages and mobile mechanics.

Before booking, check:

the final quoted price;
what work is included;
parts quality;
diagnostic charges;
call-out charges;
cancellation terms;
warranty;
garage or mechanic reviews;
payment arrangements; and
who is responsible for resolving a dispute.

Car parts and accessories

Before ordering a part or accessory:

confirm the exact vehicle;
check registration and model details;
compare part numbers;
check left- and right-hand variants;
confirm engine or trim compatibility;
check warranty;
check returns;
consider professional fitting; and
do not install safety-critical parts without suitable knowledge.

Reviews and comparisons

Fast Pass may use:

product specifications;
retailer information;
manufacturer information;
customer reviews;
publicly available pricing;
personal experience where applicable;
professional driving experience; and
general suitability for learners or new drivers.

A product mentioned on the website may not have been physically tested by Fast Pass unless the page states that it has.

Editorial independence

The intention is to keep learner and driver information useful even when a page contains affiliate links.

Affiliate income may support:

website hosting;
content creation;
research;
technical maintenance;
free learner guides;
downloadable resources;
theory-test content; and
development of the wider Fast Pass platform.

Commercial income should not remove the need for clear limitations, balanced information or honest disclosures.

Your responsibility before purchasing

Before buying or booking through an external link:

compare alternatives;
check the latest price;
read the full terms;
check suitability;
understand cancellation rights;
check renewal arrangements;
check delivery or installation;
consider reviews carefully;
keep purchase documents; and
contact the merchant with product-specific questions.

Affiliate-link records

Fast Pass may record aggregated information such as:

which page generated a click;
which merchant link was used;
the number of clicks;
whether a commission was reported; and
the commercial performance of a page.

Affiliate networks and third parties may also use cookies or other tracking methods under their own privacy and cookie policies.

Contact Fast Pass where:

an affiliate link is not disclosed clearly;
a link points to the wrong product;
information appears outdated;
a price or term has changed;
a recommendation contains an error; or
you have a question about the commercial relationship.
