What is Comprehensive Plus car insurance?
This covers you if your car is stolen, accidentally damaged or damaged by fire. You're also covered for claims made against you by other people for damage to their property or for bodily injury. Comprehensive Plus offers some higher cover limits than Comprehensive, plus some extras included as standard.
Our Comprehensive Plus cover at a glance
| Guaranteed Hire Car Plus |
If your car's being fixed by one of our approved repairers, we'll give you a similar sized car to drive until yours is ready for the road. If you prefer to use your own repairer, or your car has been written off or stolen, you'll still get a hire car for up to 21 days in a row. Excludes windscreen claims and customer delayed claims. |
||
| Uninsured Driver Promise |
If you're in an accident with an uninsured driver that isn't your fault, we'll protect your claims-free years and also cover your excess. Make sure you get the registration number, make and model of the other vehicle, and the other driver's details (if possible) to make a claim. |
||
| Personal accident cover |
We'll insure you and your spouse or partner up to £5,000 should either of you be injured or killed in a car accident. |
||
| Motor Legal Cover |
If you need to make a claim for repairs, loss of earnings or personal injury following an accident that isn't your fault, we'll cover your legal costs up to £100,000 providing there's more than 50% chance your claim will be successful. |

| Vandalism promise |
If you make a claim for damage to your car caused by vandalism, you won't lose your No Claim Discount. The incident must be reported to the police and assigned a crime reference number. The excess must also be paid when making the claim. The damage can't have been caused by another vehicle. |

If your car's in an accident, we'll replace your child car seats, even if there's no apparent damage. We'll need proof of ownership for child car seats worth over £250. |

If you're driving your car overseas, you'll automatically be covered with comprehensive insurance for up to 90 days abroad. |

If you've been in an accident and need help, our emergency helpline is always available to you. |
