Sure Thing! offers several types of car insurance including standard cover and dash cam cover. The broker claims that all the comprehensive policies it arranges are offered with a courtesy car, complete glass cover and personal accident among other benefits cover as standard.

What is Sure Thing!?

Sure Thing! began in 2014 and offers car and van insurance through its panel of insurers. Sure Thing! is a trading name of Sure Thing Insurance Services Ltd, an appointed representative of Ambant Ltd, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

What are the levels of cover offered by Sure Thing!?

Third party cover is the most basic form of car insurance legally accepted on UK roads; however, this is not offered through Sure Thing!

Sure Thing! does offer two levels of cover:

Third party, fire and theft (TPFT).
If you are responsible for causing an accident, you’ll be covered for damage to third-party vehicles or property. It will provide protection against any fire damage to your car or theft of your car, but it won’t cover any accidental damage.
Comprehensive.
This gives the same protection as TPFT and also insures your vehicle against accidental damage and vandalism. It’s always worth getting a quote for comprehensive cover, as in some cases, it can be cheaper than lower levels of cover due to the risk profile of customers who choose them.

What types of cover does Sure Thing! offer?

  • Standard car insurance. Standard car insurance
  • Max car insurance. Enhanced car insurance with £100,000 legal cover and breakdown cover with recovery and home assist
  • Dash cam car insurance. Standard car insurance with a dash cam
  • Dash cam Max car insurance. Car insurance with a dash cam and £100,000 legal cover and breakdown cover with recovery and home assist

  • Legal protection
  • Breakdown cover
  • Excess protection
  • Personal accident cover
  • Replacement car cover
  • Key cover

What policy exclusions are there?

There are a few exclusions that Sure Thing! has for its policies. Your cover is likely to become invalid if any of the following arises:

  • Your car is being driven by an unnamed driver on your policy or by a person that does not have a valid driving licence.
  • Your car is used for rallies, races or competitions.
  • You fail to pay your premium.
  • You change your car during the policy term to a car that the insurer cannot cover.
  • You do not provide the correct documents to support your application.

Check your policy for further details to confirm your cover is valid.

How do I make a claim?

Call the 24-hour Sure Thing! claims line on 0800 783 3000 to make a claim. This line is open seven days a week and is free to call.

You’ll need to provide your policy details and have the following information to hand before making a claim:

  • Names and contact details of other drivers
  • Details of all vehicles involved such as registration numbers, make and model
  • Details about when, where and how the accident occurred
  • Details about any damage or injuries
  • Names and contact details of witnesses, if available
  • Photographs of the scene of the accident and/or any damage to vehicles or property
  • Crime reference number, if available
  • CCTV or dashcam footage, if available

It’s vital that you let your insurer know about an incident as soon as possible, even if it’s not your fault. Failure to do this could result in a rejected claim.

What is my excess?

Your insurance excess is the amount of money you have agreed to pay towards a claim. Your insurer won’t pay out for a claim that costs less than your excess. A compulsory excess amount might vary depending on the age of your car and your driving experience.

A voluntary excess is normally an amount set by you when taking out a policy. You’ll have the option of adding or increasing a voluntary excess, which could in turn reduce your premium.

You’ll be able to find details about any applied excess in your policy document.
