When it comes to insuring your car, choosing between third-party and comprehensive cover can seem complex. The two options meet different needs, and at Foyer, we're here to help you make the best decision.
What's the difference between third-party and comprehensive cover?
Third-party insurance
This is the basic type of insurance, compulsory for all vehicles. It covers only damage caused to third parties (people, vehicles or property), but not damage to your own vehicle.
Comprehensive insurance
This is the most comprehensive form of cover. It covers damage to your vehicle, even if you are responsible for the accident or if no third party is involved (e.g. vandalism, bad weather, collision with an animal).
When should you opt for comprehensive insurance?
Here are a few situations in which comprehensive cover is particularly recommended:
Your car is new or very valuable: Protecting a new or recent vehicle with comprehensive cover guarantees that you will be compensated at its purchase value in the event of theft or total loss.
You drive frequently: The more you drive, the greater the risk of an accident. Comprehensive cover gives you extra peace of mind on your daily journeys.
You want maximum protection: If you want to be covered even in the event of an accident without a liable third party (bad weather, vandalism, etc.), comprehensive insurance is the best choice.
You can't afford the cost of repairs: Car repairs can be expensive. With comprehensive insurance, you can avoid major unexpected expenses.
When should you opt for third-party insurance?
Third-party insurance may be sufficient in certain cases:
Your car is old or of low value: If the cost of repairs far exceeds its resale value, comprehensive cover may not be cost-effective.
You don't drive much: For occasional drivers or secondary vehicles, third-party cover may be an economical solution. Additional options can be added according to your needs.
