Did you know that we offer a whole host of everyday and leisure insurances, all under one roof? From insurance for motorhomes and static caravans, to household and travel insurance, we’ve brought together a collection of feature packed policies, so shopping around for what you need is that little bit easier.

Our agents will be able to talk to you about all of your policies in one conversation, so you can spend your time doing more of the things you really enjoy! Take a look at the other insurance covers we can provide.

Find your insurance

We believe in making insurance as straight forward and as easy as possible for our customers. That’s why we have multiple payment options, so you can choose your preference: instalments by direct debit, debit card, credit card, BACS or bank transfer.

Spreading the cost of your insurance can help make the cost more manageable, which is why we work with Close Brothers Premium Finance to enable you to pay in regular instalments*.

Flexible payment dates, online account management and credit agreement renewal can make it easier to have appropriate protection in place.

*We work with a third party company called Close Brothers Premium Finance Limited (‘CBL’), which manages instalment payments. We act as a credit broker and we are not a lender. If you have opted to pay by monthly direct debit, we will pass your details to CBL and they will make a credit decision about you, which may include a credit check being carried out. Please let us know immediately if you do not consent to us sharing your details with CBL. If CBL agrees to provide you with credit you will receive a welcome pack including a credit agreement from CBL, which you will need to sign and return to CBL. Please note that CBL has its own set of terms, conditions and charges and you should familiarise yourself with these carefully. We may receive a commission for introducing you to CBL. Paying by monthly direct debit via CBL will cost more than paying by one off payment. As part of your premium finance journey, Close Brothers will provide you with a commission disclosure detailing the commission we earn. You will have 12 days to review this information and provide your consent. If you decide not to consent to the commission amount, Close Brothers will be unable to process your loan, and you will need to arrange to pay the balance in full.
