Car insurance
Flexible car insurance options
A complete choice
We all drive different cars, to and from different places, that’s why all our car insurance needs are different. Finding the best quote for you is about delivering value. That means balancing the cost of cover options offered with the benefits you really need.
Car insurance cover options include:
Comprehensive car insurance
Comprehensive car insurance overs you if your car is accidentally damaged, stolen or damaged by fire. It can also cover vandalism, windscreen repair or replacement cover, depending on the car insurance policy you choose.
Third party, fire and theft insurance
Third party, fire and theft insurance can cost less than a comprehensive policy and may be suitable if you drive a relatively inexpensive vehicle which you might prefer to replace than repair.
Breakdown cover
Nationwide 24/7 breakdown assistance covers whether your car won’t start, has broken down or has been damaged. You’re covered for a reputable repairer to come and fix the problem, or towaway recovery if it can’t be quickly repaired. Driveway assistance is included in some policies.
Windscreen cover
Windscreen cover is typically a standard benefit with comprehensive car insurance cover. It also comes as standard with some insurer third party policies.
Driving other cars
Depending on the policyholder’s occupation and licence type, driving other cars is included on many of our underwriters’ car insurance policies. This allows you, the policyholder, to drive cars that are not owned by you or are hired to you, providing you have permission from the vehicle owner to use the vehicle. Additional terms and conditions may apply and should be viewed as emergency cover.
Open driving
Open driving on your car insurance typically covers any driver aged 25-70 with a full Irish, UK or EU licence while driving your car with your permission.
No claims bonus
A no claims bonus, sometimes called a no claims discount, is a reduction in your car insurance premium cost. This is based on the number of consecutive years that you have been previously insured, or have been a named driver on someone else’s policy, without claiming or someone making a claim against you.
