Some policies only provide a courtesy car as an optional extra, while others only provide a courtesy car if your car requires repair, but not if your car is stolen and not recovered or written-off.
With Car Insurance from John Lewis Finance a replacement car is provided for a maximum of 30 days if your car is stolen and not recovered or is written off, so life can continue as normal.
If your car is being repaired by an approved repairer following an insured incident, you’ll receive a courtesy car for the duration of the repairs. This may be any car they have available.
Other terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions apply.

Third party insurance only covers you if:
You injure someone
You damage their vehicle or property
Third party, fire and theft covers you for the above and will also pay to repair or replace your own car if it is stolen, or damaged or destroyed by fire.
However, third party policies won't pay to repair any other type of damage to your car.
The most commonly purchased option is comprehensive cover. It covers all of the above, plus
Personal belongings cover
Uninsured driver protection
Guaranteed repairs
Replacement locks
Windscreens
and more.
All new John Lewis Car Insurance policies provide comprehensive cover.
