Third Party Fire and Theft Insurance cover offers only slightly more protection than Third Party only insurance.
It does exactly as the name suggests, it only covers any third parties who you may be involved in an accident with (if the accident is your fault), and also covers you if your vehicle has a fire or is stolen.
The person who has the third party cover will not receive ANYTHING in the instance that they are at fault in an accident.
