Cycle way? Cycle away!

You are cycling around a lake and are tempted by the thought of a picnic by the water. Your trusty old bike will wait for you by the cycle way while you rest. Or so you thought. Unfortunately someone else now has it, and you're left to continue on foot. But not for long – your additional "Simple theft outside the home" cover will help you out. You can use the money from your contents insurance to buy yourself a new bike.

When your home is plunged in at the deep end

You return from your vacation by the beach and discover that the weather at home has been terrible. Heavy rain has flooded your cellar, and your ski equipment is learning to swim. You rescue it from the flood, while we rescue your finances. When nature plays havoc, contents insurance will cover the damage.

One policy for all

The one roof over your heads protects you all from rain; the one policy protects you all financially. Anyone who shares your home can benefit from joint insurance. Even if they are only there at the weekend or during the working week. The result is cheaper travel and comprehensive cover.
