Cover Information

Comprehensive

Comprehensive

The definition of Comprehensive is

of large scope; covering or involving much; inclusive;

As such Comprehensive cover provides the most protection to you as a policyholder.

Comprehensive will almost always provide cover for Accidental / Malicious Damage, Fire and Theft Cover. This means that you are protected for damage to your own vehicle as well as for the damage you may cause to someone else.

This will also normally include windscreen / glass cover. An excess is payable for replacement and more recently this has been introduced for repairs as well.

Third Party Fire and Theft

Third Party Fire and Theft

Third Party is the minimum level of cover required by UK law. This allows a “third party” (i.e. somebody else) to make a claim against you for injury or damage to their property. “Fire and Theft” extends the policy to provide cover in the event that the insured vehicle is stolen or damaged by fire.

Third Party Only

Third Party Only

Third Party is the minimum level of cover required by UK law. This allows a “third party” (i.e. somebody else) to make a claim against you for injury or damage to their property.

Although this provides the least cover this is by no means guaranteed to be the cheapest premium available. In fact many insurers do not offer Third Party Only cover and those that do may give better premiums for comprehensive cover. We can advise you as necessary on this and a lot more besides. Call us on 01603 400755 and our friendly staff will be happy to help any way we can.
