UK car insurance
Find out the insurance requirements to drive a car in the UK and the different types of cover available.

Drivers in the UK are legally required to take out a car insurance policy that at the very least covers against third party risk. Those who drive in the UK without car insurance risk facing a costly fixed penalty fine.
Motorists in the UK can choose from three types of UK car insurance:
- Third-party only car insurance (minimum requirement)
- Third-party fire and theft car insurance
- Comprehensive car insurance
Although all UK car insurance policies provide the minimum cover needed to drive in the European Union, UK drivers travelling abroad can also benefit from added European car insurance cover.
Added European car insurance
As some European countries tend to view third-party liability differently than the UK's car insurers, even those with comprehensive car insurance policies could benefit from added European car insurance cover.
So whether you plan to drive through Europe on business or on holiday, you can take to the roads a little easier knowing your car is protected against theft, loss and damage on the continent for up to 180 days with added European car insurance cover.
