There are 3 parts to car insurance. First is Liability, which every car is required to have by law. Second is Collison and Third is Comphrensive, these are only required by law if you have a lien against the vehicle.
Liability covers victims of an accident you caused, not you or your vehicle.
collision covers damages to your vehicle in an accident that you cause.
Comprhensive covers non vehicle accident damage to your car, like hitting a deer, or a while driving a stone hits your windshield, cracking it, or vandalism.
Now based on what you said about an oil leak, if I was the adjuster, I would deny the claim, because you should have found the leak during normal preventative maintenence, which you should have fixed.

Hello,
The answer is definately YES! if you have a fully comprehensive car insurance policy it will cover you for fire, even if you the policy holder caused the fire by accident. Fully comprehensive means just that, it covers you for all eventualities no matter who is responsible, & that's why you pay a higher premium than say just third party fire & theft policies.
**But you should definately check the policy T&C's documentation as there are limits & exclusions to policies aways.
**For example I live under a flight path but my home insurance excludes dam to my property from say a wheel that drops off an aircraft coming into land, etc. So always check the small print.

To know I'd have to read your insurance policy. I don't think so but I might be totally wrong. Logic tells me you won't get a penny.. I mean leaving a bag with money, ipod and everything in your car just isn't done, plenty of weasels about. RE: does fully comp car insurance cover contents? some gutless little weasel put a brick through my car window and took my bag, i was parked outside a church of all places, in my bag was approx £120, an ipod, mobile phone, purse with cards (which i've cancelled) driving licence, passport, birth certificate, will the insurance cover this.

It should do, but be aware that the insurance company may try to prove the oil leak was known about, and you didn't get it repaired. Therefore you have neglected the condition of the car which contravenes the policy wording. It sounds harsh but I've heard of it happening.

There is no such thing as "fully comp". You either have comprehensive, which covers damage that is your fault that you do to someone else's property, or full coverage, which would include collision (sometimes with a deductible) and possibly fire and theft coverage. Which do you have? Read the policy, or call your agent to see. If you have full coverage, it will cover up to the value of the vehicle, minus your deductible if any.

Yes it does. but before you make a claim check out what the cost will be cause you'll loose your no claims discount unless it's protected. And if it's for a car worth less than £1000 you'll probably be better off not claiming since by the time you've paid your excess and the increased premiums for the next few years you may well be out of pocket more than paying for a new car all yourself.

unlikely to as the policy wording will usually say you are responsible for keeping the vehicle in a roadworthy condition.
It could be argued that an oil leak would make the car unroadworthy

Yes fully comp will cover you, you may have an excess to pay but it will cover you..
One little note to our american collegues, the uk law works differently to yours

Definately. Fully comp covers you even if its your fault but your premium may go up if you claim
