I've just got a very reasonable quote from them but was wondering what they are like paying out? Anyone with any experience of a claim? Thank you.
 
Not dealt with them but they are cheaper because you'll have to co-pay any claim. I thought they were very cheap too until I learned that
 
I had that some years ago with Amtrust but 10% and £125 excess Others wanted £250 excess and were the same more per year.

So even with paying a %, I would be better off unless a claim went over £3750 every year

When I was comparing quotes last year, a few insurers have brought this system in though less than 25% and many have upped the excess to between £250 and £500

What is the co claim please? It says 25%. Does it mean I have to pay 25% of the claim as well as the excess?

It probably wouldn't be worth it for smaller claims , you'd obviously get more paid for for big claims, but then you'd still have to find possibly thousands to pay your section.
If you have good credit, you might as well get a credit card and use that - and then do a balance transfer onto a 0% interest deal to pay it off without interest

How much are you saving per year? If you save £250 then any claim over £1000 you'll be worse off. If you save £500 then £2000 would be the cut off.

That's assuming the excess is the same.

Eta bear in mind they give lifetime cover so if your horse gets something long term like Rao or ulcers, you'd get ongoing cover and bills paid for the lifetime minus the 25%

After spending hours trying to find any suitable insurance I'm thinking along those lines!

Is the 25% a one off payment or is it payable yearly for as long as the condition exists??

It's 25% off all costs and would be deducted from the pay out.

So you send them a bill for £1000. They deduct the fixed excess, say £200. They then take 25% off the £800 so you get £600. Next month you send another vet's bill for £500, they deduct 25% and send you £375 and so on until you reach your limit. However as it's a lifetime policy, you can claim on the same condition for years.

If the vets accept direct payment, then my vet generally ask you to pay a fixed excess when first invoiced but work out any percentage after.

And when one 0% deal comes to an end , just transfer the balance to another 0% card. That way if it's a huge bill you can have years to pay it off without interest (usually a balance transfer fee of around 3% applies )
