A new mortgage and lifestyle protection package has been announced by Liverpool Victoria, designed to provide peace of mind for customers who suffer sickness or unemployment.
The package is quite comprehensive in what it offers, with the option of regular mortgage payment coverage or an index linked sum that will replace more living expenses in the event of difficulties. There is a lot of flexibility in the package too, with the facility to have cover running for different periods of time depending on the need.
A Liverpool Victoria spokesman explained that the protection package offered the flexibility customers wanted with simplicity and delivered the peace of mind that was sought.
The view of AA Insurance is that the simple step of taking a motorbike awareness course can help cut motorcycle insurance premiums as well as making them safer road users.
A spokesman from AA Insurance pointed out that motorbikes are a more risky form of transport than any other, primarily because of the chances of the rider being injured when involved in any sort of accident. He added that, if bikers take the correct precautions then they can greatly reduce the chances of being involved in an accident.
On the subject of the motorcycle awareness course the AA Insurance representative went on to say that having an awareness and a sense of caution when on a bike is a good thing. It helps riders focus on issues that may arise and can help avoid accidents that would otherwise happen.
According to the information provided by AA Insurance around 4,000 caravans are stolen each year in the UK, with the midlands being the area from which they vanish more than any other.
It has been suggested that the convergence of several main motorways could explain the Midlands status as caravan theft capital of the UK. With the M6 and M1, as well as the M42, all close by it is easy to get to any part of the country, traffic excepted of course. AA Insurance figures show the Midlands loses 10 percent more caravans than anywhere else.
Caravan owners should ensure their caravan is always secured, making it harder for thieves to take it away. This is especially true at this time of year, said the AA Insurance spokesman, since many people prepare the caravan on the drive prior to setting off for a trip. This is when it is most vulnerable.
