Comprehensive car insurance

Car insurance can't stop bumps from happening, but it can help you navigate them smoothly.

Comprehensive cover is the highest level of insurance you can get. It gives you cover for those unexpected bumps in the road, which we will explain in this article.

Comprehensive cover is a level of car insurance that covers you for more than just fire or theft, it will also cover you for accidental damage as well. With having comprehensive cover, you also have additional benefits, and the option to explore additional add-ons.

What is covered by comprehensive car insurance?

Comprehensive car insurance covers you in more ways than just your car being stolen or being in an accident. 

It works by giving you additional benefits to keep you and your car covered. If you were in an accident, comprehensive car insurance would cover a payout for anyone you injured or damage to their vehicle, and any claim against you would be dealt with by your insurer, as well as damage to your car.
