Cover in all parts of Northern Ireland

We cover all areas of Northern Ireland, including Belfast, Derry, Craigavon, Bangor, Lisburn, Castlereagh, Ballymena, Armagh, Carrickfergus, and more.

Legal protection included

Our legal cover is a standard part of our car insurance policies. If you’re ever involved in an accident that wasn’t your fault, this can help you recover any out-of-pocket expenses.

Cover for the rest of the UK, the Republic of Ireland, and other parts of Europe

If you regularly venture outside of Northern Ireland, we can cover you in the rest of the UK as well as Europe and other parts of the world. Most policies include up to 90 days in Europe, but we can also add European cover if you want to be covered for longer trips.

Protected no claims bonus

We can protect your no claims bonus, so even if you do need to make a claim, your discount remains the same.

Which type of insurance should I get?​

Fully comprehensive

This is the highest level of protection you can get and protects your vehicle regardless of who is at fault. It can often be more competitively priced than lower levels of cover, so it is always worth getting a car insurance quote before you decide.

Third-party, fire and theft

This covers damage to other people, their cars and their property, as well as your vehicle in the event it gets stolen or damaged by fire.

Third-party only

This will only cover damage to other people, their car, or their property in the event of an incident. This cover is the minimum level of cover you can get.
