What types of car insurance can you get?
Comprehensive Insurance:
This type of car insurance cover is for incidents that are unrelated to accidents that may affect the car, such as weather damage, theft or hijacking. This type of cover provides the most extensive cover and it also the most expensive type of cover. It is often highly recommended for drivers of new vehicles.
Third Party, Fire and Theft insurance:
If you are looking for a slightly cheaper insurance, this cover may be ideal for you. It is similar to comprehensive cover but it does not provide cover for accidental damage to your vehicle.
Third Party Only insurance:
This type of insurance provides cover for any damage you may have caused to someone else’s vehicle (third party).
