What Car Insurance Policies Typically Cover

Cover Type What It Covers What to Consider
Third Party The legal minimum. Covers damage or injury to other people, vehicles or property. Doesn't cover damage to your own car, even if the accident wasn't your fault.
Third Party, Fire and Theft Third-party cover, plus your car if it's stolen or damaged by fire. Still doesn't cover damage to your own car from an accident.
Comprehensive Covers damage to your own vehicle as well as third parties, regardless of fault. Often similarly priced to third-party cover, so it's worth comparing both.

Car insurance cover differs by provider, so carefully check policy details before agreeing to a deal.
