What is fully comprehensive car insurance?
Comprehensive insurance (or 'fully comp') is the highest level of cover you can get for your car. It also covers you for damage caused to your vehicle, including accidents, theft, vandalism, damage caused by animals, fire, and natural disasters such as flooding.
You can also enhance your policy with add-ons for extra peace of mind, such as breakdown cover (Roadside assistance included with MORE THAN Extra) or legal assistance (included with MORE THAN Extra).
What comprehensive insurance does not cover
A fully comprehensive insurance policy does in certain circumstances cover you to drive another person’s car in an emergency situation. Confirmation of cover will be shown on your Motor Certificate. The general rule is that if you drive someone else’s car regularly, then you should be named on their policy.
For example, if a friend had an accident and they were unable to drive and you wanted to drive them to the hospital - you might be allowed if they give you permission and you meet certain criteria. However, if you have an accident en route, the level of cover is generally third party only. Clearly, there’s a lot to consider. So, it's best to check your policy document, schedule or certificate to be sure of your cover.
Why choose MORE THAN comprehensive car insurance
There are many reasons to choose our car insurance: three fully comprehensive levels of insurance, optional extras to enhance your cover, plus everything that's included as standard such as 24/7 emergency assistance after an accident.
Car insurance cover explained
- Excess is the amount you pay towards the cost of a claim. It is made up of compulsory and voluntary parts. Compulsory is the amount we set. Voluntary is the amount you choose. The excess you pay will depend on the type of claim you’re making
- Breakdown cover - Emergency assistance to make your car roadworthy if it breaks down either at the scene or at a nearby garage. We have four levels of cover to meet your needs. (Roadside assistance included with MORE THAN Extra)
- Legal cover - If you're involved in a car accident that isn't your fault, would you need help with the cost of legal services, for example, to seek compensation for personal injury, loss of wages, or paying for an unnecessary excess? (Included with MORE THAN Extra)
- Wrong fuel cover - If you put the wrong fuel in your car, you'll be covered for damage to your engine. We can also drain and flush your tank too, to get you back on the road faster (excess applies. Not included with MORE THAN Essentials)
- Uninsured driver promise - If you're involved in an accident with an identified uninsured driver that wasn't your fault, your No Claim bonus won't be affected (not included with MORE THAN Essentials)

(excess applies) - Personal accident - providing a lump sum up to £5,000 if you or your partner were involved in a life-changing accident
