What is third party, fire and theft insurance?

If you’re in an accident that’s your fault, third party car insurance (the minimum level of cover you need to have by law) protects other people, as well as their cars and property. 

With third party, fire and theft car insurance, you’ll also be protected if your car is damaged by fire, or if it’s stolen. And if an attempt to steal your car results in damage you'll be covered for that too.

Our third party, fire and theft policy makes sure you have the basics covered.
