As title really? Any insurance people out there?

Does freezemarking/microchipping reduce insurance premiums???

 

[Archee]

Good question...would be interested to hear if they do seeing as I've just had mine freezemarked!

I have my horse Microchip and Freeze marked and has'nt reduced my insurance premiums

if anything i have to pay more money to keep the horse registered with freeze mark and the microchip company.

There was one company that reduced for a freezemark... cna't remember who tho... sorry

NFU dont currently give a discount for these

Some may do but most don't. I think (and it is only a thought) Petplan may have done at one stage but then their premiums are quite substantial anyway so probably only reduced it to a 'normal' amount!

Never come across one yet that does. For a while i kept my horse on an Army base, behind the razor wire with armed guards on the gates & regular armed dog patrols. Still didn't get anything off the insurance even though it would have been extremely hard to steal her!!!!!

Some companies used to when freezemarking was a new idea (think there may have been an "incentive" between the freezemarking company & insurers) but as numbers marked got higher the idea just disappeared. Don't know of any insurer that discounts for this now (or microchipping).

One or two companies do, but I can't remember who
