Protected no claims discount
Add this to your car insurance and you can have one claim in a year, or two claims in a three-year period – without affecting your no claims discount.
Breakdown cover
Don’t be stranded if your car breaks down – choose from our Roadside, Rescue & Home Assist and European protection.

Third-party, fire and theft

Fully comprehensive insurance
As well as providing third party fire and theft cover, comprehensive insurance covers damage to your own car no matter whose fault the accident was. It will also cover damage to your windscreen as well as damage caused to your car’s paintwork caused by broken windscreen glass.
Dashcams

Does my car insurance policy allow me to drive someone else’s car?
It can. But we don’t offer this cover to drivers under 25, or to people in certain occupations.
If your policy provides cover for you to drive other cars (you must check section 5 of your certificate of motor insurance to see if you have it) then you’ll be protected, provided:
- You don’t own or haven’t hired the car under a hire purchase or lease hire agreement
- There’s valid cover for the car under another insurance policy
- You have the owner’s permission to drive the car
- It’s being driven in Great Britain
- You have the owner’s permission
- You’re using the car for the purposes stated on your certificate of motor insurance
Is it worth protecting my No Claims Discount on my car insurance?
Yes. It’ll save you money, so you’ll want to keep it safe.
If you qualify for it, then you can add NCD protection when you buy a new policy or renew your insurance. And if you forget, you can add it up to 30 days afterwards.
It’ll allow you to make one claim in one policy year, or two claims in three consecutive policy years – without losing your well-earned discount.
