What is Third Party Car Insurance?

Third Party Car Insurance is the most basic level of car insurance you can hold. It enables you to drive on public roads in the UK legally. This cover is designed to protect other drivers on the road in the event that you have a car accident.

If you are found to be at fault, you will be covered against the cost of repairs to a third parties car or property.

Important information: This type of cover does not protect your car or property if it’s damaged in an accident.

Halifax Car Insurance is underwritten by a panel of insurers and is arranged and administered by BISL Limited. When getting a quote online you’ll be taken to BISL Limited’s online site with a new privacy and cookie policy.
