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

Car insurance for your electric and hybrid vehicles. We’ll be by your side for every 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.
