What types of car insurance does LV= offer?
LV= offers three types of insurance, as is usually the case with car insurance:
Third Party Only - covers you for damage or injury to other people and their property only.
Third Party, Fire and Theft – cover for damage or injury to other people and their property, plus damage to your vehicle by fire and theft only.
Comprehensive Insurance – From theft to write-offs and even lost keys, you'll be covered with LV=.
Here's what you'll like about their comprehensive cover:
• Accidental damage cover - Scratched or dented your car? They will pay for repairs so it's as good as it was before the accident
• Uninsured driver promise - If the other driver is not insured and the accident’s not your fault, you keep your no claim discount and there's no excess to pay – as long as you have the details of the other vehicle and driver
• Misfuelling cover - Accidentally filled your car with the wrong fuel? It happens. LV= pay to drain and flush your fuel tank, as well as cover the damage to the car's engine
• European cover - Get the same level of cover as you have in the UK in the EU for up to 180 days a year.
• Vandalism promise - If your car is vandalised and you have to claim, you'll keep your no claim discount – you'll just need to pay your excess
• Replacement child car seats - LV= will replace your child car seats if your car has been in an accident – even if there’s no apparent damage
• New locks and keys if your keys are lost or stolen (after all, accidents happen)
