What is comprehensive car insurance?

Protect yourself and your car with our highest level of cover. Comprehensive car insurance covers you and your car, as well as third parties and their cars when you’re at fault. Going fully comprehensive means we’ll also include protection against uninsured drivers, plus loss or damage to your car. 

Although we don’t like to think about something going wrong, it’s important that you feel confident on the road. Be safe in the knowledge that you’re covered for a whole range of mishaps and damage.

Key benefits 

  • Comprehensive cover for you, your car and third parties
  • No claims discount for you and other named drivers
  • You’ll be protected against uninsured drivers 
  • Get a replacement child car seat if you’re in an accident, to keep your little ones safe
  • Discount on your car insurance just for being a Nectar member‡
