Motor Legal Cover

WHAT IS MOTOR LEGAL PROTECTION?

If you’ve had an accident that wasn’t your fault, you don’t want to be left out of pocket dealing with the aftermath. Your standard car insurance will cover some expenses, but there are a range of other possible costs that it’s unlikely to cover. For example: 

  • Public transport use or hire car while your vehicle is being repaired 
  • Earnings loss due to time off following injury 
  • Replacing damaged personal property such as glasses or clothing 

Motor legal cover from Heritage offers up to £100,000 of cover for uninsured loss recovery, taking care of the details that a standard motor insurance policy may not. 

DO I NEED MOTOR LEGAL PROTECTION?

Motor legal protection is a vital means of covering specialist vehicles and the high values – and potential costs – that come with them. 

You can’t put a price on the peace of mind that comes with knowing you are covered against the range of repair and legal expenses that comes as part of motor legal protection. 

We would recommend that anyone with a classic, vintage or specialist vehicle gives serious consideration to adding motor legal protection to their range of vehicle cover options.
