If you are driving a car on Isle of Man roads, you are required to have a legal minimum insurance cover. Of course most people opt for more comprehensive protection for their vehicle, Tower Insurance have a policy to suit those requirements. We can even extend cover to include an element of business use, if that is what you need. As long as you are between 16 and 74, we can probably offer you a quotation.

What can be covered?
Most types of car can be covered, as long as they are Isle of Man registered. You can even save some money by only paying for the type of use you require. The options we offer are:

• Social, Domestic & Pleasure use, excluding commuting.
• Social, Domestic & Pleasure use, including commuting.
• Social, Domestic & Pleasure use, with Business use.
