It’s a good idea to spend some time personalising your car insurance cover to make sure you’re protected for those unexpected situations - such as breakdowns, third party claims or simply losing your keys! Personalise your policy with optional extras such as:
RAC breakdown cover
Make sure you don’t get stuck on the side of the road with a choice of four levels of breakdown cover from RAC, with extra discounts for students. Each cover option will fix your car at the roadside if you are over a quarter of a mile away from home, or take you to a nearby garage. There are no call-out or mileage charges.
If you've never broken down before and you're not sure what to expect, find out more about what to do if you breakdown.
Legal expenses
If you have an accident that’s not your fault, this cover will provide up to £100,000 for legal representation for you and all named drivers on your policy to pursue recovery of costs not covered by your car insurance from the other driver. You'll also receive help to defend your legal rights if an accident leads to a motoring offence.
Excess protection
This covers the reimbursement of a car insurance policy excess you have to pay following an accident, although please note that windscreen excesses are not included. You can claim as many times as required up to your chosen coverage limit of either £300, £500 or £750 for each excess paid.
Key cover
Keys are incredibly easy to lose, but can be surprisingly expensive to replace. Key cover provides up to £2,500 for replacing locks and keys for your car, home and office, including locksmith charges. You’ll also receive up to three days of emergency car hire or the option to reclaim the cost of onward transport if your car keys are lost or stolen.
Enhanced personal accident cover
If you're injured in an accident, you may be left unable to work - either while you recover or permanently, dependent on the severity of your injuries. Enhanced personal accident cover will provide a specified lump sum which may provide immediate security in assisting with bills, medical costs and other expenses that may be incurred.
Hire car cover
If your car is written-off or stolen and not recovered, this cover will provide you with a car to use anywhere in the UK for up to 21 days. All named drivers on your policy aged between 18-79 (with a full UK licence) will be able to use this car and you will be covered for up to two claims per policy.
No Claims Bonus protection
No claims bonus can save you a significant amount on your car insurance each year, so why not protect it? NCB protection means you won’t lose your hard-earned bonus should you have an accident during the policy term.

Endsleigh’s comprehensive car insurance automatically provides cover in the European Union for up to 90 days. However, there have been a number of changes to the EU driving rules since the Brexit transition period ended on 31 December 2020, so do your research before you travel. You can find a full summary of the documents you’ll need to drive abroad post-Brexit here.
You’ll also need a green card to drive to some countries, so don’t forget to check the FCDO travel advice of the country you’re visiting.
If you have car insurance with Endsleigh and need a green card, you'll need to get in touch to request one 4 weeks before you're due to travel (although the government recommend at least six weeks’ notice). This is so you leave enough time for your green card request to be processed, printed, posted and also to allow for any potential issues. You will need a separate green card for trailers/caravans.
There are lots of ways to reduce the cost of your car insurance quote - here are 5 top tips:
1. Take Pass Plus
Pass Plus is a 6 hour long driving course you can take once you’ve passed your driving test, and it helps new drivers build their confidence and improve their skills on the roads. Some insurers will offer a small discount on your premium for taking Pass Plus.
2. Increase your excess
Increasing your voluntary excess can sometimes reduce your premium. Just remember that you’ll need to pay both your compulsory and voluntary excess in the event of a claim, so you’ll want to make sure the combined amount is still affordable.
3. Pick a small engine
The type of car you drive can have a big impact on your car insurance premium. Choosing a car with a small engine and no modifications may help reduce the cost of your car insurance quote.
4. Black box insurance
Having a black box installed to monitor your driving could result in cheaper premiums, just for driving well.
Find out more about black box car insurance.
5. Drive safely
Reducing the cost of your car insurance can be as simple as driving safely and following the rules of the road. Your car insurance should naturally get cheaper each year as you build your No Claims Bonus, and avoiding speeding fines and other penalties will help to show insurers you’re a low risk driver.
We want you to have all the right information when picking your car insurance - so we've pulled together loads of handy guides that will hopefully start to answer any other questions you might have about car insurance - including what's covered, how it works and what you need to know about making a claim.
