What does Aviva Car Insurance cover?
Our car insurance covers you against the cost of accidents and damage. You can choose from our comprehensive or third party, fire and theft insurance. Prices from £192, that's all 10% of customers paid (excludes optional extras) 1.
The minimum type of car insurance you need to drive in the UK is 'third party' and our Third Party, Fire and Theft insurance covers more than this basic level. Our 'comprehensive' level also covers damage to your vehicle. It's worth checking your price for comprehensive insurance - 'third party, fire and theft' and 'third party' cover aren't always cheaper.
Uninsured driver promise
We'll refund your excess if you're in an accident with an uninsured driver, that wasn't your fault 2
Recovery transport
Continue your journey if your car isn't safe to drive while we get everything fixed 3
3 year guarantee on repairs
Following a claim, we guarantee the quality of the repairs made by our approved repairers for 3 years as standard 4
You can also add additional cars to your policy with our MultiCar cover as well as optional add-ons like breakdown cover and courtesy car.
