The benefits of our car insurance

  • Extra protection against uninsured drivers

    If your vehicle is involved in an accident caused by an uninsured motorist, we'll refund any excess you've paid. You’ll need to provide us with details of the other vehicle and driver

  • We’ll drop you home after an accident

    When your car's not safe to drive, we'll deliver you to your front door (or wherever you're heading) and whisk your car off to get fixed with one of our approved repairers Footnote [1]

  • Our promise for any repairs we make

    Following a claim we guarantee the quality of repairs made by our approved repairers for as long as you own the car, even if you change insurers. Footnote [2]

What does our car insurance cover?

In short, it covers you against the cost of accidents, damage and theft. Exactly what we cover and how much for is down to the level of insurance you choose.

Car insurance for electric and hybrid vehicles

Plug into a brighter future with our car insurance for your electric and hybrid vehicles. And we’ll be by your side for every environmentally friendly mile you take.

Which level of car insurance cover is right?

You can sniff out cover in many shapes and sizes. We’ve kept it simple. You can choose between comprehensive insurance and third party, fire and theft insurance.

Comprehensive car insurance

This is our insurance with the biggest biceps. It’s like an extra shield against the costs of damage to your own car, for example, if you crunch into a pothole.

Third party, fire and theft insurance

While this is our lower level of cover, it gives you more protection than the basic ‘third party’ cover that everyone needs on the road in the UK.
