At Tyre insurance 123 we think that it just as important to know what your policy will not cover and what it will.

The whole concept of tyre insurance is that if you have a puncture or need a new tyre it can cost hundreds of pounds. Tyre insurance therefore allows you to take control of the unforeseen motoring costs. So before we look at what your policy can do to help lets look at what it cannot do as in our opinion the exclusions of any policy are equally as important.

Also the very last thing that we or our underwriters would want is for a customer to buy a policy that they are not eligible for. Equally we would never want any policy holder to not completely understand what they are and are not covered for.

What your policy will not cover.  

We cannot cover any amount of the maximum of £300 per claim and this will have to be paid by you.

Any claim occurring within 28 days from the insurance Policy Start Date.

Damage caused by improper use of the your vehicle, incorrect tyre pressure, wheel alignment, balance, defective steering or suspension.

Cosmetic damage.

Replacement or repair of Tyres required as a result of faulty manufacturer or design.

Tyres that do not carry an ‘E’ mark.

Tyres that are below the Legal Limit when the incident occurs.

Any repairs if they are covered by any other Insurance policy, warranty or guarantee.

Any claim not authorised by the claims team before  the repair work is carried out. 

Your Vehicle if it is used as a taxi or driving tuition vehicle, or it has been modified.
