Insurance

[smokeybabes]

I'm having a look at other insurance companies as i'm with the company that isn't considered very relaible (though to be fair, when i made a claim a few years ago they paid) and my policy is up for renewel.
So does anyone have any experience of Shearwater and/or KBIS as i have recieved reasonable quotes from both of those?

Sorry havent had any experience with those, mine are with NFU, my friend is with them too and when she had to claim for colic they were really good

I had one of my old horses insured with KBIS. They were excellent and paid out a huge vet bill and on his death. I would recommend them.

However I would also recommend NFU, who I have Be insured with. They provided by far the best quote and I've never heard a bad word said against them.

another vote for Nfu, cant recommend them enough

Both of those have a good rep.

Also get a quote from NFU, always my first port of call

NFU.

NFU for me too! Any company is only as good as their record on paying out! Cheaper is definately not better in this case. I have had 1 year of treatment for my horse's kissing spines amounting to over £2500, which was eventually unsuccesful, paid for promptly and without question, and have today received a cheque for partial loss of use. I'll certainly use them again when I find my next horse!

Another vote here for NFU...... just get quotes from various companies, but steer clear of the one you are currently insured with.

No wonder my premiums keep going up!!!

KBIS for me; been with them for years and they have paid out without any problems at all. Very helpful staff that are all horse oriented so know what you're talking about/going through which has to be a bonus!

Another vote for NFU here! Always pay out and premium's arn't too bad either!

 

[Darkly_Dreaming_Dex]

AIMS as they are £100 cheaper than NFU and paid out with no problems on my cobs ringbone

 

[Grumpy Herbert]

I've just changed my insurance to Petplan having been with E&L (ahem!).

And would you believe, Petplan are actually £5 per month cheaper per horse!! You can get a quote and arrange the whole thing online. I know that NFU are really good, as YO has them and they paid out when her horse needed some very expensive work done.

SEIB. They've been fab and paid up quickly on a big vets bill (surgery), and are very fair with exclusions and limits.
