Do I need car insurance?
Motorists in the UK are required by law to have valid car insurance. Driving without car insurance is illegal and could lead to a fine, penalty points or disqualification. If you’re involved in any kind of road accident, car insurance can protect you, your vehicle and other road users by providing financial compensation to cover the costs of any damage or injuries. There are three main types of car insurance – comprehensive, third party fire and theft, and third party only.
What type of car insurance do I need?
The minimum legal requirement is third party car insurance. However, this doesn’t cover the potentially high costs of repairing any damage to your car. It also doesn’t cover you if your vehicle is stolen or damaged in a fire. Comprehensive car insurance gives you the highest cover, and protects against damage to your own vehicle, even if you’re to blame for the accident.
