GoSkippy policy details
GoSkippy break their cover down into three options:
- Third party is the minimum level of cover you need to legally drive in the UK. This covers any damage to someone else's car or person but won't cover you for any damage caused to your car.
- Third-party, fire and theft protects your vehicle and covers any damage to a third party, their vehicle or their property. You’ll also get a replacement car if yours is damaged due to fire, stolen or damaged due to theft.
- Fully comprehensive car insurance means you and your vehicle are insured even for accidents where you are to blame. You’ll also get a replacement car if yours is damaged accidentally.
GoSkippy offers a selection of car insurance policies and types. Not all policies and types are available through our site, so the exact levels of cover and benefits may vary. Before buying car insurance, we recommend you check the cover and benefits included.
All GoSkippy car insurance products include certain features such as new car cover, repair guarantee and legal liability to third parties. They offer four main car insurance products that each have additional features:
