What Type of Car Insurance Do You Need?

Choosing the right cover is based on your driving habits, your budget and the worth of your car. At Clarity Compare, it’s easy to identify the main policy types so you can select the level of cover that best meets your needs.

✅ Comprehensive Car Insurance

Comprehensive policies offer the most coverage and usually provide the best value. Typically covering:

  • Damage or injury to other people and their property
  • Fire damage or theft of your car
  • Theft
  • Repair costs if you cause an accident
  • Replacement if your car is damaged beyond repair

Most cover will exclude driving a car that you don't own and theft from an unattended, unlocked vehicle.

🚗 Third-Party, Fire & Theft

A good mid-level option, covering:

  • Damage or injury to others
  • Fire damage
  • Theft of your vehicle

It will not cover you for repairs to your own vehicle if you cause an accident.

🚙 Third-Party Only

This is the minimum legal requirement to drive in the UK.

  • Covers injury or damage you cause to others
  • Does not cover your own vehicle
  • Several insurers may not offer it, suggesting that it could, on occasion, be more expensive than comprehensive cover.

Don't Be Misled - Comprehensive Coverage Can Be Cheaper Than Third-Party

Many comprehensive insured drivers usually have cleaner records, safer cars, and are safer drivers. Insurance companies are usually just happy to give lower premiums for lower risk. So they reward the lower risk with lower premiums – even though the protection is wider.

Less Supply, Higher Price for Third-Party

Now, with fewer insurers that provide third-party only cover, there is less competition, which means in a lot of cases it is more expensive. Comprehensive cover has typically attracted more providers, therefore more competitively priced.

How To Make It Work For You

It is a myth to assume a cheaper price means less cover. Consider your own situation – age, vehicle, driving record, and optional extras. With Clarity Compare, you can quickly compare both comprehensive and third-party quotes instantaneously through Australia’s leading insurers. This way, you can compare and decide what level of protection is best for you.

Why Are Car Insurance Rates Rising?

Car insurance prices have been on the rise mainly due to inflation and higher repair costs for high-tech electric vehicles. The insurance industry has invested in different initiatives to cut costs, such as enhanced safety technology and increasing repair networks, but it’s always good to shop around since comparing car insurance quotes is the best way to withstand price increases. 

Why Is Cover More Expensive for New Drivers?

New drivers are generally considered a higher risk as they lack experience, which is the reason behind the higher premium for new drivers. There are some options available that can reduce car insurance premiums, such as telematics insurance, which offers a discount depending on the way you drive.

Specialist Vehicle Policies

Some insurers also provide specialist cover for:

Learner drivers

For those with a professional licence.

Young drivers

Ideal if you have limited driving experience.

New drivers

Perfect if you’ve just passed your test.

Student drivers

Suited for those living away from college or university.

Over 50s

Tailored for experienced motorists.

Named drivers

If you’re added to someone else’s insurance policy.

Disabled drivers

For drivers with health conditions or adapted vehicles.

Occasional drivers

Great if you only borrow a car occasionally.

Drivers with convictions

Designed for those with licence points or previous disqualifications.

    Clarity Compare can help you get cover for a variety of vehicle types, including:

    Types of Vehicles We Can Insure

    Classic Cars (usually 15+ years old)

    Specialist cover for vintage or collectable vehicles that protects their original value and history. Ideal for limited use, car shows, and responsible restorations.

    Sports or Performance Cars

    Cover specifically designed for higher-powered models (or luxury and collectable cars) known for faster speeds and higher repair costs. Cover to fit the performance and style of your vehicle.

    Imported or Modified Vehicles

    Cover for vehicles that have been imported from overseas or modified with upgrades. Protects specialised parts and any non-standard parts.

    Electric and Hybrid Vehicles

    Policies that cover batteries, charging equipment and environmentally friendly components. Perfect for drivers who are trying to travel in a greener way.

    Electric Car

    Sales of electric cars are growing. However, these vehicles can be more expensive to insure than conventionally fuelled cars. This is because the sophisticated technology they use can make them more expensive to repair.

    How Can I check if my Vehicle Is Insured?

    You can easily check if your vehicle is insured by inputting your registration number in the Motor Insurance Database (MID). The MID is a free service that will tell you whether you have an active policy in place. 

    Note: The MID only tells you whether you are insured or not. It does not show you the full details about your policy. 

    What is Telematics? How Does It Work? 

    Telematics, sometimes referred to as black box insurance, involves using a small device (or smartphone app) to monitor the driver’s behaviour, such as speed, braking and mileage. This data is then analysed by your insurer, and if your driving is deemed safe, you may be offered a lower premium when it comes to renewal.     

    Telematics may be suited for:  

    • Young or new drivers.  
    •   Low-mileage or infrequent drivers.  
    •   Anyone wanting to show that they are a safe driver. 

    Understanding Car Insurance Excess 

    An excess is the amount you agree to pay towards a claim, and your insurer pays the rest. There are two types of excess:
    • Compulsory excess: determined by your insurer based on factors, including your age, vehicle type and risk rating. 

    • Voluntary excess: an amount you select to reduce your premium. Higher voluntary excess typically means you will have a lower monthly charge, but you will pay more if you make a claim. Ideally, insurers will increase the premium for the higher voluntary excess.

    1. What's included in my car insurance policy?

    Your policy will cover costs for damage, theft, or injury, but it depends on which policy option you select.

    Third-party insurance is the minimum amount of cover legally required, but it will not cover damage caused to any insured vehicle or potential costs incurred by the other party, as it only covers what you might have to pay to other people.

    Yes, most insurers will allow you to name additional drivers for an additional charge. 

    Most policies will have a basic cover for vehicles being driven abroad in Europe. Check policy documents before travelling.

    There are many things you can do to reduce your premium for insurance premiums. Obtaining quotes from different insurers and using comparison websites, maintaining a clean driving record, and a larger voluntary excess could also keep your insurance premium down.
