NFU Insurance - I thought I posted this yesterday

Karinofnine · 10-03-2011, 11:29

Anyhoo, a big thumbs up and thanks to the NFU who were brilliant when my car was stolen. Their assessor moved swiftly and set a fair value and they paid out within a couple of days after that. Excellent service. Have insured the new car with them.

Hi i have just gone with NFU and because my caravan insurance was with them so i tryed for my house insurance and got it a lot less than i was paying.
The reason for change was that i started Fostering two days a week now my kids have grown up and gone away

so last july i informed my House insurance company of that fact as advised by the Fostering panel.
they said that the insurance company that i was with do not insure foster carers,asked WHY?they would not give me a reason so i said, in for a refund then? not having none of that,they will cover me until the end of my year of insurance.
So insurance brokers rang me up 4 days ago saying that the new quote would be £337.00

£87.00 more than last year as the have to move me to a new company. l said thats not fair volunteering to look after disabled kids two days a week restbite, and get hammerd for it.
at that time my caravan insurance was due, so i gave them a ring as i had been with them 8 years.They gave me a quote £277.00 for house + £7000 caravan. RESULT

so the morrel of my rant if you have a house and caravan give NFU a ring.

Well done mate, been there, done that, fostered special needs for 24 years, many times 3 at one time ages 1 to 14, never had problems with insurers then ( we stopped fostering 8 years ago) so I feel for you now as you say give a helping hand and get screwed for it, incidentally if you are doing it through your local council , have a look at fostering agencies, you will be shocked/amazed at the difference in rates, bet you did not know it costs over £1000 per week, yes per week, to foster a special needs child (8 year old costs) regards Rick

Good to hear, I'm with NFU.... but so far aint had to make a claim!!! (touch wood!!)

Might have to give them a ring about caravan insurance as that will be due soon.... currently with the Caravan Club, but just had a right battle with them over a claim I made!!!

They have a policy named Home and Lifestyle Insurance that you can add your Caravan to or vice versa. Laurie.

to be precise, NFU is exactly what you say and no more. Any farmer, smallholder or even interested party can join and there are benefits to membership, including a decent 25% discount at Jewsons

NFU Mutual is the seperate insurance operation
