What Does TPFT Car Insurance Cover me for?
A third party, fire and theft (TPFT) policy allows the named driver(s) to legally use their vehicle in a public place. It also provides cover if your car is stolen or catches fire. Most policies include any losses incurred as a result of attempted theft or fire, while some also include damage to your property caused by a car fire. TPFT only covers you for damage you cause to other vehicles, persons and property in the event of an accident. It does not provide cover for you or your car.
It’s usually a little cheaper than fully comprehensive policies and is suited for those people who drive relatively inexpensive vehicles, as the cost to replace is likely to be negligible when compared to repair bills. Some policies also allow you to add on additional extras but this will increase the cost of your premium.
