Third party fire and theft has the same level of cover as third party insurance, however, it also has the additional cover in the event of a fire or theft of your vehicle.
TPFT insurance is normally only slightly more expensive than a third party policy, so it is often worth considering paying a little more for the extra protection.

As with all types of cover it depends on the actual insurance policy as to what is covered. We recommend you take a look at the "Extras to Consider" page which outlines insurance extras and highlights what isn't always included with some insurers.

Massachusetts auto insurance question?
Fully comprehensive covers ANYTHING that happens to your car while it is legally parked. I believe that third party fire and theft only covers your car if someone steels it or sets it on fire. Comprehensive does not cover accidents. Only collision coverage covers that.an old ford escort....
If you dont owe anything on it, just plain liability (your local minimum) would be fine.
No sense in fully covering this car as the insurance wouldn't give you anything for it anyway
In that case I would get third party fire and theft which basically means that you are covered for damage to others vehicles but not for the repair of your own if you are at fault. If someone else hits you then your car would be fixed by their insurance.

What is the minimum type of insurance that a person can get if they cannot afford full coverage?
If you do go fully comp and make a claim against your own insurance (you hit someone or someone damages your car and runs off) then your premium will go up and it may have been cheaper to fix it yourself. The only good thing about fully comp is the courtesy car option. I would have been stuffed in the past without this BUT if you are hit by someone else their ins co should provide this, it just makes it easier to claim it on yours and for them to claim it from them.

fully comp covers the damage to your car as well as the one you hit. Third party only covers the other vehicle, on an old car which is not worth a lot its just as well only to pay third party and save your self a good chunk of money. Third party normally includes fire and theft so if its nicked you can still make a claimHow do I get a dealer's license in Canada, BC?

Well tpft means if you have a crash, your ins company will only pay for the damage to the other vehicle and not your own. You will have to pay all that yourself.Fully comp will cover the damage to your car and if its a write-off they will pay out the value you insured it for. For example if you paid 5000 for a car the ins comp will ask you the value of it and thats the figure they will use to assess your premium. Its also what they will pay out if you write it off minus adjustment for devaluing over time etc
Okay, let's answer your question properly.
Third Party Fire & Theft covers damage to someone else's property (e.g. the other car), plus damage to your car resulting from fire or its theft. It does not cover damage to your own car resulting from an accident (or driving into a wall!)
Fully Comp does all that, PLUS it covers damage to your own car.
How can they suspend my drivers license if i never had one?
Only you will know if you consider the extra premium costs for fully comp to be worth it.
Third party covers you against the damage you do to others only when you are at fault. Fire and theft are usuaully added and hardly cost any extra. Fully comprehensive covers you as well if the other party is not clearly at fault and has to pay for your loss, or if you just drive into something. There are usually quite a few extras too.

Hello,I have a question about lapse of auto insurance?
The basic difference is.
I lost my KY license and now live in PA...?
Comprehensive includes everything (usually, read the fine print of any policy, they also always include an excess. i.e. the amount of money you must pay before the insurance company will pay out. usually around €250) from other parties to damage you do to your car including windscreens for example.
Third party includes damage from a third party and or fire or criminal damage. It does not cover you for example if you lets say mill into a wall!! so you have a beat up old ford. go for TPF&T I do and I still pay around €900.00
Thanks,hope this helps.
