What are car insurance optional add-ons?
Optional add-ons are extra cover you can add to your car insurance policy.
They cover specific events, like legal costs or personal injury. They allow you to personalise your insurance so it suits you.
We always recommend checking your car insurance policy before getting an optional add-on. You don’t want to be overcovered and pay more than you need.
The add-on will be active in line with your car insurance renewal date.
Motor Legal Protection
Covering up to £100k in legal costs if you’re in an accident that’s not your fault. You’re a careful driver, but what about everyone else on the road?
Hire Vehicle cover
Drive away with a replacement car if yours is written off or stolen. A safety net that keeps you mobile.
