  • What kind of insurance should I get?

    Comprehensive

    This offers the highest level of protection you can get for you and your car, as well as other people and their property.

    Third-party, fire and theft (also known as TPFT)

    It insures you against damage caused to someone else or their property, including your passengers, as the result of an accident. It also covers you if your vehicle is stolen (or damage occurs as the result of an attempted theft e.g. stolen radio) or is involved in a fire. The fire damage applies to accidental fires as well as arson (however you’ll need a crime reference number to make a claim for the latter). It does not pay out if your car is stolen or damaged, even if the accident is not your fault.

    Third-party

    This is the minimum level of cover required by law. It insures you against damage caused to someone else or their property, including your passengers, as the result of an accident. It does not pay out if your car is stolen or damaged, even if the accident is not your fault.

  • Do I need car insurance if my car is never on the road?

    If your car is not on the road, then you must apply for a Statutory Off Road Notification (SORN), which means that you don’t need to tax or insure your vehicle.

  • Does my age affect car insurance premiums?

    Yes, young and new drivers may find car insurance more expensive.

    This is because, statistically speaking, young drivers are one of the riskiest groups on the road. That's why it's especially important to compare car insurance quotes and try to find the best deal possible.

  • What is a No Claims Bonus?

    A No Claims Bonus or No Claims Discount is awarded to you by your insurer if you haven't had to claim on your car insurance for a certain length of time.

    Your insurer will usually reduce the cost of your policy - as it indicates that you may be a careful driver.

    The longer you don't claim for, the lower your premiums could be.

  • What is a voluntary excess?

    When you buy a car insurance policy, you can choose a voluntary excess.

    This is an amount you’ll need to pay in addition to your compulsory excess, when you need to make a claim.

    If you choose a high voluntary excess, your monthly premiums may be cheaper - but ensure that you would definitely be able to afford to pay this amount yourself when needed.
