Norwich Union (CGNU)

I went to amsterdam last year and deiced to take out a single trip travel policy to make sure well if i got ill or my bags where stolen then id be covered. I search on the internet and found prices around £20 for the length of time i was going. i then tried to get one through work and as a member of staff i get a discount, ummmm well we get 5% not a huge amount on a small policy, other people who work in the insurance world if they get a policy through ...
...with the small price of the policy i wasnt really all that worried. The internet site was useful you can download a copy of the policy booklet, and there are many upgradeable stuff, like if your going to be taking golf clubs, if you have a business cover, i didnt need any of this as well i was going to amsterdam, i mite have thought i was doing some flying but i think it was more of a case what we enjoyed out there. the internet gives you the biggest ...

...the ins and outs of the finer print - but the cover provided will prove to be adequate for most travellers. CARE : if you have pre-existing conditions you may not be eligible for this policy - check with Norwich Union. All in all well worth a look! ...

...insurance to the USA through Norwich Union, the service was fast, efficient and cheap. The web-site provides an online quote, which came to £28, and is very easy to use. Answer a few questions and hey presto job done. You can call for a quote if you prefer. The price NU quoted was far cheaper than other providers. I asked for quotes from several, including Tesco (£43) and Natwest (£41), and found that most of them are simply resellers of insurance ...
...are selling on a commission basis - therefore dealing with NU directly is much cheaper, aswell as easy to do. I found online insurance cheaper at £25, but after reading the terms and conditions, I realised that the excess was £50 - NU charge £35 which is very competitive and one of the lowest around. My cover also included baggage upto the value of £1500, with a maximum of £250 for any one item. For me it was a very attractive policy which offered ...

If you call: HSBC, First Direct, Abbey National, National Trust ATL and most unions, along with many other groups, you will end up speaking to the same operator? These banks and other organisations act as brokers selling insurance on behalf of CGNU. You probably wouldn't be too shocked to discover that. What might surprise you is the fact that you will be directed through to the same operator when you call these agencies! They operate in partnership ...
...giving the business to the insurance company. What does it mean for you? 1. You may well be offered nearly identical policies from two of the partners at quite different prices. 2. You get to deal with someone who has an idea of what they are talking about. 3. You have the security of dealing with the biggest company. 4. You aren't neccessarily paying more because the bank bank may keep their "cut" low as an incentive to use their other products. ...

I called Norwich Union for a quote because I was going on a trip to the US. Realising that insurance would be expensive to a destination that has such outrageous medical bills I expected to pay a lot. However when I called for a quote they advised me that I should buy the annual insurance (It was cheaper than the one trip, because I was going for 6 weeks). I paid around £40-50 for annual insurance, which I thought was a great deal! When I got home ...

Most policys seem to be the same so maybe I am harsh. I flew to Germany with Ryan Air and on the return the flight was cancelled due to fog. This cancellation in accordance to EU reglations 261/2004 is beyond the control of the airline so they are not liable for your costs and they did not have another flight for 48 hours. So booked with a competitor the next day. You would thnk your insurer would step up to the plate one way or another especially ...
