Private Motor Insurance

Start with the car you drive, who uses it and the journeys you actually make. The main choice is between protection for damage to your own vehicle and a narrower arrangement focused on your liability for damage to other people’s property.

Who it is for

Individuals discussing everyday privately used vehicles, including any disclosed business use.

Explore the cover

These are areas to discuss, not an automatic inclusion list. Available sections and cover depend on the selected wording and schedule.
01

Comprehensive or third-party property

Comprehensive insurance can address insured damage to your own vehicle as well as third-party property liability. Third-party property insurance generally focuses on that liability and should not be assumed to repair your own car.

02

Vehicle value and excesses

Check whether settlement uses an agreed value or market value and how accessories or modifications are treated. The standard excess and any additional driver excesses should be considered together.

03

Repairs and keeping mobile

Repairer choice, hire cars, glass, keys and replacement-vehicle benefits differ between policies. Look at the conditions and limits for the features you would rely on after an accident.

04

Drivers and everyday use

Tell us about regular drivers, overnight parking, modifications and any delivery, rideshare or work use. A private-car description should match the way the vehicle is used.

Information for quotations

Provide vehicle and modifications, ownership or finance, drivers, garaging, annual use, business use and claims history.

Limitations and exclusions to discuss

Own-vehicle damage and liability to others differ. Review drivers, use, valuation, exclusions, excesses and any glass or replacement-vehicle benefits.

Frequently asked questions

Does a private vehicle policy automatically fit delivery work?
No. Explain the actual activity and obtain a review of the appropriate vehicle description and terms.
Is a replacement car always included?
No. Any replacement-vehicle benefit and its conditions must be checked in the selected documents.
