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.
01Comprehensive 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.
02Vehicle 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.
03Repairs 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.
04Drivers 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.
