If you have a pickup and are looking for insurance, you'll need to use our van insurance process. This is because generally 4x4s are classified as cars and pickup trucks are not due to their longer wheel base and the fact they often exceed 3.5 tonnes.
What kind of insurance should I get?
When you get a quote, we'll ask you what kind of insurance you're looking for. There are three main levels of cover to choose from:
Third-party only Icon of a piece of paper with three people
The lowest level of cover available. It insures you against damage caused to someone else or their property, including your passengers, as the result of an accident. It doesn't cover your car against repair or replacement.
Third-party, fire and theft Icon of a piece of paper with three people
Offers the same level of cover as third-party, but also covers your car for repair or replacement if it's stolen or damaged by fire.
Comprehensive Icon representing a checklist on a page
Offers the most protection, covering you and your car, as well as other people and their property.
We've covered the three levels of cover in more detail in our guide to insurance policy types.
What are the different types of insurance available?
A standard policy will usually cover a single car for 12 months. But, depending on your needs, other types are available. These include:
