Can I change my car insurance from third party to fully comp?

If you're finding that your third party policy isn't giving you the cover you need, you're free to upgrade to fully comprehensive cover.

All you need to do is get in touch with your car insurance provider around the time of renewal and follow the necessary steps. There is most likely additional documentation you will need to provide, so check out what’s needed. In some cases you might even find that upgrading to a comprehensive policy is cheaper. While this won’t always be the case, it highlights the importance of assessing all your options when it’s time for renewal. This means understanding all the offers your current provider has as well as checking the rest of the market to see if any better deals are available.
