Is Third Party, Fire and Theft Insurance Right for Me?

The answer to this question depends on a number of factors, such as the replacement value of your vehicle, the year / age of your vehicle, and what's affordable to you right now. The premium for Third Party, Fire and Theft Insurance is usually cheaper than Fully Comprehensive cover, but it also means you could be out of pocket for the cost of repairs to your own car.
