benefits added onto the standard policy.

When you choose a
policy you must
decide:

Third party, fire and theft• Added to the third party cover this
motor insurance policy also covers you for repair or replacement in the event your car is stolen or damaged/destroyed by fire.
Comprehensive CoverWith comprehensive auto insurance you get all the cover above and you also can claim for damage to your car
Additional CoverThis is an opportunity for you to decide what is important to you in terms of cover and what you are prepared to pay for that extra cover.
