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). However, for many drivers, comprehensive insurance is the most complete way to insure a car.
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 MORE THAN car insurance: three fully comprehensive levels of insurance, optional extra products to further enhance your cover, and all of the cover that's included as standard such as 24/7 emergency assistance after an accident and courtesy car (excludes a write-off. Must use a recommended repairer).
