What’s covered under my policy?
Like most other car insurance providers, Endsleigh offers three levels of insurance cover. Check them out below:
- Third party cover. This is the most basic form of cover and the minimum amount of insurance required by UK law. This policy covers damage to third parties and their property, but not any damages to your own vehicle.
- Third party, fire and theft cover. This is a slightly more extensive cover. This policy covers any damage to third parties, as well as any damage done to your own car by fire or theft. However, it does not cover any damage done to your car if you are in an accident.
- Comprehensive cover. This is the highest form of cover offered by Endsleigh. With this policy, you are covered for any damage done to a third party and their property. It also covers any damage done to your vehicle by fire, theft or an accident.
Take a look at some of the benefits of each cover level below. Please note that a full list of cover inclusions and exclusions will be included in your policy documents.
