What is comprehensive car insurance?

Comprehensive insurance is exactly the same as fully comprehensive insurance and is just another name for the same level of cover.

Comprehensive car insurance offers one of the highest levels of protection, it covers the same things as third party only and third party fire and theft, but on top of all that, it covers your own car in an accident. You can also add other cover on to this type of policy, such as breakdown cover, and motor legal protection.

How does comprehensive insurance differ from third party only and third party fire and theft?

The main difference between comprehensive Insurance, third party only insurance and third party fire and theft insurance is that it protects your car in an accident. It also covers things such as accidental damage. For example if you clipped your car when pulling out of a driveway, you could claim on your insurance to repair what damage had been done.

Comprehensive car insurance also covers damage to your car when it can be hard to prove who the culprit was. An example of this could be that you’ve come of out of your house to find someone has put a dent in your car door and driven off without leaving their details.

Is comprehensive insurance expensive, do I need it?

In some cases comprehensive insurance does not cost a lot more than third party only, and third party fire and theft. So although you might be saving a few pounds, when buying a cheaper alternative, you could also be losing out on a lot of cover.
