Does Car Insurance Cover Repairs?
Car insurance can cover repairs—but it depends on your policy. Comprehensive insurance is the broadest, covering collision damage (even if it’s your fault), fire, theft, vandalism, and animal damage. However, it doesn’t cover wear and tear or mechanical failures.
Third-party only won’t pay for repairs to your own car, while Third-party, Fire & Theft covers theft or fire damage but not accident repairs.
Before booking repairs, always contact your insurer for approval to avoid unexpected costs. Minor cosmetic damage may be covered, but claiming could impact your no-claims bonus and raise future premiums.
Insurance pays repairs up to your car’s market value; if repairs cost more, your car may be written off instead.
