To be legally able to drive on UK roads, you must have some form of car insurance. This is an absolute must and is also the reason why so many of us look for car insurance quotes every year. Failing to do so can cost you a fortune. However, millions of people do not know what type of insurance they have let alone what they are covered for because they do not take the time to look at their policies. This is a problem so you must familiarise yourself with the types of car insurance out there.
Car insurance quotes can be obtained for the three types of car insurance, which are third party, third party fire and theft and fully comprehensive. Every single car insurer offers all three but there is a world of difference between them. As such, you can choose the level of cover that suits you as long as you know what all three actually are.
Third party car insurance is the loosest insurance type out there because it literally covers you for the damage or injury that is caused by you to another car or person. Although it does cover your passengers, it does not cover you or your car in the event of an accident or theft. You can still claim for your car from someone else?s insurance if they are responsible but not your own.
Third party fire and theft has the same basis as third party insurance but it will also cover you in the event that your car is stolen or set on fire, whether through an accident or through vandalism. However, it will not cover you for damage to you or your car if you cause an accident.
The highest level is fully comprehensive. The car insurance quotes for this will offer a whole range of elements in the cover. Taking out this policy will get you cover for all of the above and accident benefit, medical expenses, accidental damage, damage to your car and personal possessions damage.
It is wise to obtain car insurance quotes for all of the above to compare policies if you do not know what option will suit you or your needs. However, the type you choose will determine how much you are to pay because there is a gulf between the three types. So much so that you may not be able to afford the type you actually want.
Fully comprehensive car insurance is easily the most expensive because of the sheer amount of elements it covers. Mrs Cooper is a prime example of that. She obtained a range of car insurance quotes for a Vauxhall Corsa and found that there was 173 pounds between the cheapest third party and the cheapest fully comprehensive insurance options.
173 pounds is a huge sum when you think about the impact it would have on your monthly premiums. It can price some people out of the affordable range. Whether you know what type of insurance you want or not, it certainly pays to work out your budget and look around.
