What level of cover should I choose?

When you get a quote, we'll ask you what kind of car insurance you're looking for. There are three main levels of cover to choose from:

Third-party only

The lowest level of cover available. It insures you against damage caused to someone else or their property, including your passengers, as the result of an accident. It doesn't cover your car against repair or replacement.

Third-party, fire and theft

Offers the same level of cover as third-party, but also covers your car for repair or replacement if it's stolen or damaged by fire.

Comprehensive

Offers the most protection, covering you and your car, as well as other people and their property.

We've covered the three levels of cover in more detail in our guide to insurance policy types.

What are the different types of car insurance available?

A standard policy will usually cover a single car for 12 months. But, depending on your needs, other types are available. These include:

Multi-car

Insure all the cars at your address and get a discount.
