Which type of insurance should I get?
Fully comprehensive
This is the highest level of protection you can get and protects your vehicle regardless of who is at fault. It can often be more competitively priced than the lower levels of cover on offer, so it’s always worth getting a quote.
Third-party, fire and theft
This covers damage to other people, their cars and their property, as well as your vehicle in the event it gets stolen or damaged by fire.
Third-party only
This will only cover damage to other people, their car, or their property in the event of an incident. This cover is the minimum level of coverage you must get.
Frequently asked questions
