With AXA car insurance, you know you’re in safe hands.
When it goes wrong, our emergency claims team can help you out. And if there’s an accident and your car isn’t driveable, we’ll help with recovery of your vehicle. We’ll also pay for the cost of overnight accommodation and onward travel (of up to £300 per claim) – meaning you aren’t left stranded.
They’re just some of the reasons why we’ve been awarded Defaqto’s 5-star rating.

Need additional cover?
If you want more, we’ve got a wide range of optional extras – from legal to breakdown cover – that’ll help you get the protection that’s right for you.
Choose from the options below:
Courtesy car upgrade
If you lose the use of your car due to a valid car insurance claim, we’ll ensure your hire car is of a similar size and transmission to your own car – and will have at least as many doors and seats as the one you currently drive.
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.
Legal expenses
In an accident that wasn’t your fault? We’ll pay up to £100,000 to recover your uninsured losses – including medical expenses or damage to property in your car.
Personal injury and rehabilitation
Up to £100,000 for death, permanent total disablement, loss of sight or loss of limb.
Post-accident rehabilitation
Up to £5000 for including physiotherapy, chiropractic treatment, cognitive behavioural or psychological therapy.
Car insurance policy types explained
Don’t get confused by car insurance. We’ve got a handy guide to help you compare the cover levels we offer.
Third-party, fire and theft
It’ll protect against damage or injury you cause to someone else (aka a third party) but also if your car is damaged by fire or is stolen.
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
Do you know about dashcams? In the event of an accident, a dashboard camera can help prove you’re not to blame, meaning you might be able to settle your claim quicker. Find out about using a dashcam.

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.
