The three main types of car insurance that people buy are: fully comprehensive; third party fire and theft; and third party only. Depending on how old your car is you might not have any other option but to take out fully comprehensive and while this is the dearest type of car insurance it does protect you fully. Comprehensive car insurance will cover the cost of repair to your car and the other party's; it can also include damage to windscreen and personal injury. Third party fire and theft can be taken out cheaper than fully comp but this only covers the basics such as if your car is stolen, damaged by fire and to cover the other party should you be in an accident. Third party only will only cover the other party if you should be in an accident and won't payout for repairs to your own car.

All car insurance, whatever your needs, can be bought far cheaper if you go with a specialist website. Low cost motor insurance can be found even if you want fully comprehensive, a specialist website will be able to get you the cheapest quotes in the shortest time possible which then allows you to make huge savings whilst at the same time getting access to all the information you need to help you understand the terms and conditions in a policy. It is essential that you read the small print of any policy and that you understand what is included in the cost of the policy and what your car is insured for.
