What Level of Cover Do I Need?

There are three main levels of coverage for your vehicle’s insurance. The most basic Third Party Only (TPO) is a legal requirement of being able to drive on the roads in the UK, but other packages provide coverage for greater levels of protection.

  • Third Party

    This protects you from paying for damages to other people’s vehicles and property and is the most basic level of insurance.

  • Third Party, Fire and Theft

    TPFT covers all that a TPO level will, but also provides coverage against the damages of potential fire or theft of the vehicle.

  • Comprehensive

    An all-encompassing protection which covers your own vehicle and injuries to yourself as well as anyone else.
