Car insurance is a legal requirement in the UK if you are a car owner. However, car insurance is also, more importantly, a vital form of protection for you and your passengers when you are on the road.
The minimum legal requirement in the UK for car insurance is third party fire and theft but you may find that comprehensive car insurance is a better option for you. Comprehensive car insurance protects you in case of damage that is caused accidentally or when an accident is deemed a 50/50 case. You will also have peace of mind that your car will be fully repaired (providing the cost of repair is not more than the value of the car).
Most car insurers offer similar products so it's a good idea to get a few quotes before you decide which company to buy your car insurance from. You might then decide that it's worth comparing some of the other benefits of each car insurance product to make your final decision. Some of the factors you might consider could include:
- Use of a courtesy car during repairs or if your car is stolen
- 24 hour customer support
- Possibility of paying in monthly instalments
- The levels of excess that are applicable
The excess that is paid in the event of a claim is certainly worth checking as this can turn a cheap quote into a large expense in the event of a claim.
