Motor Insurance Products (IF5) provides an overview of motor insurance products available to consumers and commercial clients, the distribution channels and legal and regulatory obligations.

We consider motor insurance products designed to cover private cars, commercial vehicles, motorcycles and motor fleets, as well as important bodies such as the Motor Insurer's Bureau.  We examine the Road Traffic Acts and EU Directive and legislative instruments relevant to the provision and transaction of motor insurance, including the duties placed upon consumers and commercial customers when proposing insurance cover.

Documentation central to the transaction of motor insurance in the UK is considered, including the certificate of motor insurance, legal requirements concerning its issue and content and the policy schedule.

The construction of motor insurance policies as a contract of insurance is explored and the component parts of the policy booklet are explained together with common policy conditions and exclusions.

We view claims handling procedures, how claims may be notified, and information commonly requested. Databases used to identify and reduce fraudulent claims and uninsured driving are considered, and finally the roles of the Financial Ombudsman Service and Financial Services Compensation Scheme.
