Is car insurance mandatory?
If you would like to drive a car on the roads legally, you must have eligible car insurance. The minimum insurance you must have is third party insurance, to cover any damage to the other driver if you are involved in a road traffic accident. Having car insurance is the law, but it is also a good way to protect the driver from huge expenses if involved in a road traffic accident.
What are the benefits of insurance?
As stated before, car insurance is a practical way to protect individuals involved in a road traffic accident from paying unreasonable costs to fix the damages caused. Having car insurance also gives individuals a peace of mind; with the right kind of car insurance, you can feel protected and secure from the mistakes of others.
What are the different types of insurance covers?
There are different types of insurance covers that drivers can take out before driving, the minimum insurance that an individual must hold is third party car insurance. Third-party insurance covers damage to other people involved in the road traffic accident.
The different types of insurance include:
- Third-party car insurance
- Third-party fire and theft car insurance
- Fully comprehensive car insurance
Third-Party
That is the minimum cover for all drivers in the UK must-have. This kind of insurance will cover the costs of injury or damage caused to other people or property, however, it does not protect you as a driver. It is an option for individuals who do not have any claims bonuses or can afford to buy another car if they are involved in an accident. A fully comprehensive cover is always advised, and drivers should shop around before picking a cover.
Third-Party, fire and theft
This sort of insurance supplies drivers with the same cover as a third party, which doesn’t protect your or your car. This insurance also covers repairs and funds the replacement of the car if it is stolen or damaged by fire.
Fully Comprehensive
Fully comprehensive insurance is the safest insurance cover a driver can take out. This insurance cover will cover the same as the above two including yourself and your property if you are involved in a road traffic accident. Some covers provide compensation for things such as legal expenses, accidental damage and any medical treatment that may be necessary. This is the safest and most popular car insurance that drivers take out.

Belmont solicitors have been assisting me with an injury claim from a car accident I was in earlier this year. They have been excellent throughout making sure I am aware of everything that’s been going on and providing me with all the information I need to make informed decisions. The outcome has been fantastic and I have been treated with integrity and care throughout. I would highly recommend them to anybody.

The team at Belmont has been great. They went through the information with me as often as I needed to understand all the legal bits and feel comfortable proceeding. I was given an update as soon as it was available, which meant I didn’t have to constantly call - which in my experience is not always the case with solicitors. Overall very happy with the service received.
