Your cover

What car insurance in Saint-Jean-d’Angély covers

French motor insurance starts with compulsory third-party liability and can be built up to fully comprehensive (tous risques), so you choose the level of protection that suits your vehicle and budget.

Third-party liability

The legal minimum in France, covering damage or injury you cause to others.

Fire & theft

Protection if your vehicle is stolen or damaged by fire, with options for broken glass.

Fully comprehensive

Tous risques cover for damage to your own vehicle too, even when an accident is your fault.

Driver & passengers

Personal cover for the driver and passengers in the event of bodily injury.

Assistance & breakdown

Roadside assistance and a replacement vehicle so a breakdown doesn't leave you stranded.

No-claims bonus

We help transfer your existing bonus-malus or UK no-claims history so you're not penalised.
