Third party fire and theft insurance
What is third party, fire and theft car insurance?
Third party, fire, and theft car insurance covers you for any damage made to a third party due to an accident, as well as damage to your car caused by a fire or theft. Third party, fire, and theft does not cover your own vehicle if it's damaged in an accident.
If for example, you hit another vehicle at a junction, and the accident was your fault, the other car would be covered by your insurance, but any repairs to your car will have to be paid out of your own pocket.
At MORE THAN, we believe it’s just as important to know what third party, fire, and theft is, and what it isn’t. The more rules you know, the more you can make your insurance work for you.
One great way to reduce costs on your car insurance is to understand the different levels you can have and what they mean to you and your circumstances. Insurance is all about making sure you have the right cover to suit your needs.

Third party car insurance covers you for damage to a third party in the event of an accident, to their person, vehicle, or property.
