It can vary between £25-50 depending on what level of Excess Insurance you choose.
A car insurance premium is the amount of money you are charged to take out a particular insurance policy. In other words, it's the amount you pay every month. It's based on how likely your insurance company thinks you are to make a claim.
If you're involved in an accident, third party fire & theft insurance will cover you for any damage to the other person's vehicle or injury to others if you're at fault. It won't cover you for damage to yourself or costs to repair your own vehicle. If you've got this level of car insurance and aren't at fault, then you can make a claim against the other driver.
Windscreen damage is only covered if it was caused by someone trying to break in or steal your car. Under other circumstances, windscreen repair would not be covered under third party fire & theft.
If you're not worried about paying out of pocket for damage to your property or injury to yourself, then third party fire & theft is suitable for you. However, if you prefer to not be out of pocket then comprehensive car insurance would be better suited to your needs.
Third party fire & theft insurance covers you if your vehicle gets stolen or damaged by fire. It also includes damage to other people's property and injury to third parties.
In comparison, comprehensive insurance includes everything that third party fire & theft does but it also has the added protection of covering you, your passengers and your property if there's an accident or collision.
Third party only insurance won't cover you in the event your vehicle is stolen or broken into. If you want this to be covered in your insurance policy, then it's best to consider third party fire & theft insurance.
Yes, you can drive with only third party insurance. It is a legal requirement to have third party only if you plan to drive in Northern Ireland, Great Britain, Ireland or anywhere in the EU. It is a basic level of insurance so if you’re looking for something that offers more protection then you should consider comprehensive insurance or third party fire & theft.
If you’re looking for extra coverage and peace of mind, then comprehensive car insurance is the perfect option.
It covers you for fire and theft, as well as for personal injury even if you were at fault. If, however, you’re seeking a basic level of cover then third party insurance may suit your needs. Third party insurance only covers damage to other people’s property and injury to others.
If you're looking for peace of mind when it comes to car insurance, comprehensive covers you for just about all losses. It's therefore useful to opt for this option if you don't want to risk paying out of pocket for expenses incurred if you were to make a claim.
Yes. If you have comprehensive car insurance, stolen vehicle is covered and the Insurer will pay the value of the stolen vehicle if it's not recovered. However, personal items such as phones and laptops won't be covered but these things may be insured under your home insurance.
Under comprehensive insurance you can usually drive any car but there are conditions.
Firstly, the car must already be covered by an existing insurance policy. Secondly, you must have permission to drive the car. You must also ensure that it's noted on your insurance policy certificate as not all insurers automatically grant this.
Yes, you can pay using your Google Pay or Apple Pay. We also take credit and debit card too!
Owner
The owner of the car is the person who bought it or the person who received it as a gift. This may also be a leasing company.
Registered Keeper
The registered keeper is the person named on the V5C log book and is the person who keeps the car on a day-to-day basis.
Car insurance is an agreement you make with an insurance company whereby you pay them a certain amount and they protect you if you get into an accident and cover you for damage that you might've caused to other vehicles, as well as your own.
It can also include covering you for personal injury to others and possibly yourself, as well as the theft of your vehicle or personal belongings.

There's no one size fits all approach when it comes to car insurance quotes. Your premium is based on things such as:
- Your age
- The car you’re insuring
- Your driving experience
- Your job
- Your claims history
All these details are then used to determine how likely an insurance company thinks you are to make a claim and what the total cost will be.
Yes! It’s required by law. You must have at least the minimum level of cover - which is Third Party Only. If you are caught without insurance, you face penalty points, a fine and possible prosecution.

Driving other cars (DOC) cover allows you to drive other cars without being a named driver or taking out temporary insurance. But you will need permission to drive from the owner of the other car.
Some insurers but not all offer cover to include ‘Driving Other Cars’.
Back in the day if you had comprehensive car insurance you would be able to drive someone else car, but those days are long gone, so it's important not to assume you are covered to drive someone else’s car and risk facing points on your licence.
Where would I find this info?
You'll find out if you have ‘Driving Other Cars’ (DOC) on your car insurance cert.
The main driver is the person who drives the most often. They are also the person who builds up a No Claims Bonus.
Named drivers are additional drivers who are entitled to drive your car but don’t drive it as often as the main driver. For example, a child might be a named driver on their parent’s policy or vice versa.
However be careful of "Fronting" - this is when you put someone down as a named driver but they actually drive thr car all the time. Remember, this is illegal.
You can add a named driver by getting in contact with us.
Business Use means any travelling you do for your job that is more than getting to and from work. For example, if you are a Sales Rep who visits customers or if you drive to multiple places of work on a regular basis.

Social and commuting covers everyday driving AND your commute to a permanent place of work.
Social, commuting and for business covers all of the above plus using your vehicle in connection with work beyond just commuting.
It’s important you tell us if the type of driving you do changes, so we can update your policy.
If your car’s brand new, it’s most likely only just been registered with the DVLA and so might not be recognised by our system.
But we’ve got a way around that - you can enter your car reg manually here.
A modification is any change made to your car that makes it different to how it was when originally manufactured. These changes can affect the value of your car, or things like safety. Modifications can also make the car more appealing to thieves which can increase the risk of it being stolen.
Modifications include:
- Tinted windows
- Alloy wheels
- Suspension changes
- Entertainment systems
- Exhaust changes
We need to know about all modifications, whether performance enhancing or just cosmetic.
If you’re not sure how a modification will affect your insurance, ask us first! We can advise on a potential price increase or if we can continue to cover you or not.
Where you park overnight can affect the cost of your policy as it affects how safe your car is: less safe equals more risk. For example, if you live in an area that has a high crime rate and you park your car on the street, this raises a red flag for insurers.
Wherever you park, the main thing is to be honest so we can cover you to the best of our ability should anything happen.
It can, yes.
Your premium is calculated based on risk. And the more you drive, the more likely you are to be involved in an accident. This increases your chances of making a claim compared to someone who does hardly any miles.
Therefore, the higher your annual mileage, the higher your premium may be.
If you think that you might go over the mileage that you originally quoted, you can update this by contacting the Stroll team.
If you’re not sure of how many miles you do, you can use our nifty mileage converter to find out.
If you can’t find your exact job title, choose one that matches yours as closely as possible.
Whether you are at fault or not, you must declare all accidents that you’re involved in within the requested timeframe.
