About Car Insurance

As it is a legal requirement to have some form of insurance for any vehicle you drive, car insurance is an extremely competitive area, with many companies offering a range of different features. As car insurance policies differ from one company to the next, it is not always easy or prudent to compare providers purely on a pound for pound basis - one insurer may provide a deal that is more expensive than the competition but is ultimately more suitable for you and therefore better value for money.

There are many different types of insurance available, tailored for young drivers and students, short term insurance for new purchases and courtesy cars, third party insurance to cover against theft and fire damage, and fully comprehensive insurance covering everything.

More experienced drivers can take advantage of the many no-claims discount schemes on offer from various insurers - these will see monthly costs of insurance decrease each year.

Car Insurance can often be combined with breakdown cover and roadside assistance for a fully comprehensive car insurance package. For those taking their car on holiday, some insurers provide cover for trips abroad, or the option to purchase additional cover or combine an existing plan with a separate travel insurance policy.
