Personal Loan Information: Insurance

When you’re shopping around for insurance, it could be worth checking with different insurers whether they offer any special rates for people affiliated with membership organisations like trade unions. Not only do trade unions build up close relations with employers to defend and advance the interests of their members, they also have affiliations with different organisations like insurers. One such example is the trade unions that work with UIA, a mutual insurance company with over 100 years of trading history.

UIA originally only provided trade union insurance, providing policies for trade union members and then also for those people who worked for not for profit organisations. Now, any member of the public can buy their travel, home, motor and pet insurance through UIA, but trade union members still benefit from preferential rates.

For example, members of Unite can get special premiums on Unite Insurance through UIA. As an example, Unite members can receive a 5% discount when they buy a combined buildings and contents house insurance policy.

With Unite house insurance, Unite members receive free access to a 24-hour legal helpline, free accidental damage cover for audio and home computer equipment under the contents policy, the cost of alternative accommodation should their home become uninhabitable due to an insured event like a burst pipe or storm damage.

UIA works in a similar way with other trade unions like Unison, NASUWT, RMT, CTW and FBU, offering preferential premiums to all these trade union members and their families.

So, if you’re a trade union member and you have a renewal on one of your insurance policies coming up – whether it’s for your pet, your house, your car or your travel insurance, check out the offers available with UIA and see if you can get a better deal that you currently have.

Your insurance is your protection against unexpected events such as accidents and the likes. There are different types of insurance, and though you might not have them all, you have to consider carefully whether not having one is worth the savings.
