What is car insurance?
Depending on the level of cover selected, car insurance gives you financial protection for incidents that cause damage to your car, or if it's vandalised or stolen.
Various factors apply when you buy car insurance, including the make and model of the car, where you keep it, your age and whether you have any motoring convictions.
Why do I need car insurance?
Car insurance is required by law, unless you've registered your vehicle as being off the road.
The minimum level of insurance is third party only, which covers you against liability to third parties following a road traffic accident.
Third party, fire and theft provides the same cover as third party, plus cover in the event of your car being stolen or damaged by fire.
Our Silver level of Third Party Fire and Theft cover is available exclusively through price comparison websites.
