What is Comprehensive Car Insurance?

Comprehensive Car Insurance can help cover the cost of repairs to your vehicle in the event of accidental damage, malicious damage, theft, fire, hail, and third-party damage – regardless of whose fault it is.1

What does it cover?

Generally, Comprehensive Car Insurance can help cover the cost of repairing or replacing your car in the event of collision, accidental damage or weather damage.

What other extras can I get?

Windscreen & window glass cover

This type of add-on typically allows you to repair or replace your windows or windscreen when damaged once a year without paying an excess or for a reduced excess.

Roadside assistance

If you get into trouble, this could help with things like towing, lost keys, or dead batteries. Before you get stranded on the side of the road, make sure you understand what your policy does and doesn’t cover in this area. This can be found in the terms and conditions of your cover.

Hire car

If you are without your car during a claim, your policy might cover a hire car so you can still get around while you wait up to the timeframes allowed.

Value

This could include the ability to choose from an agreed value or market value if your vehicle is totalled or stolen and not recovered
