Take your vehicle insurance up a gear.

We understand how important it is to be mobile. So if your vehicle is damaged or stolen, it’s important to have a policy that will get you back behind the wheel – and fast.

With three levels of motor insurance cover — Comprehensive, Third Party, Fire & Theft, and Third Party — you can choose the MotorPlan policy that’s right for you.

You can also choose to add the following optional benefits for an additional cost.

  • If you choose the excess-free windscreen and window glass optional benefit, you won’t have to pay an excess if you need to claim for accidental damage to your vehicle’s windscreen or window glass even if it needs replacing.
  • If you choose the roadside assistance optional benefit, we’ll provide you details in a separate agreement. For more details about the services included and the T&Cs, see our Roadside Assistance page.

Three ways to cover your car

Comprehensive

Covers accidental loss or damage to your vehicle. It also covers accidental damage you cause to someone else's vehicle or property, or accidental bodily injury to someone else.

From a chip in your windscreen and replacement locks, to emergency accommodation and transport after an accident, this is our highest level of cover.

Third Party, Fire & Theft

Covers your vehicle if it's stolen or damaged by fire, theft or attempted theft. It also covers accidental damage you cause to someone else's vehicle or property, or accidental bodily injury to someone else.

Third Party

Covers accidental damage you cause to someone else's vehicle or property, or accidental bodily injury to someone else.
