Summary of policy types

Standardis typically suitable for those who wish to insure themselves against small sums involved in repairing a motor vehicle when it fails. It does not cover many ancillary components of the car, and is focused on the major engine and drive-train parts. It is highly likely that in the event of a breakdown that it will not cover the full cost of the repairs.

Silver Plus Cover is typically suitable for those who wish to insure themselves against small sums involved in repairing a motor vehicle that is either an older vehicle or one that has covered a higher than average mileage. This policy focuses on the major engine and drive train-parts and it is possible it will not cover the full cost of repairs. Some ancillary components are not covered.

Premier Cover is typically suitable for those who wish to insure themselves for sums greater than the standard and silver warranties and for a higher proportion of the ancillary components to be covered is possible it will not cover the full cost of repairs.

Platinum Cover is typically suitable for those who wish to insure younger and lower mileage vehicles than the above policies, generally most of the vehicles electrical and mechanical components will be covered, but customers should check the detailed insurance schedule to establish that the level of cover is adequate for their needs.
