personal belongings cover in December with Saga Motor Insurance
Saga Home Insurance increases contents cover by 10%
Recognising
the increase in a vehicle's contents during the festive period,
Saga Motor Insurance is doubling the amount of cover for personal
belongings to £2000 in December. By examining their own claim
stats, the company has deemed it necessary to offer this added
security as Christmas is considered a high-risk period for
vehicle thefts and damage.
Saga
Insurance increases home contents and motor insurance cover
throughout the month of December. To allow for extra gifts
being carried in the car, Saga Motor Insurance double s it
's personal belongings cover to £2000. Saga Home Insurance
increases its contents cover by 10% to cover gifts in the
home. Saga have looked into their customer database from 2005
to 2007* and found that claims, particularly for accidental
damage, are nearly 5% more frequent than the average for the
year, and the cost of the claim is 8% higher.
The
company recommends that people attain comprehensive cover,
as despite it being the season of goodwill, unscrupulous individuals
can strike if they see an opportunity. They also stress that
longer nights and inclement weather conditions contribute
to a higher number of accidental damage claims.
Chief
Executive of Saga Services, Roger Ramsden, commented : “ People
can, understandably, get caught up in the excitement of the
Christmas period and not concern themselves with insurance.
Saga Motor Insurance offers invaluable peace of mind to those
who worry about the occurrences of theft and accidental damage
and strongly recommends that others take note Despite it being
the season of goodwill, there are some unscrupulous individuals
out there willing to steal presents from the boot s of cars
or from under our Christmas trees. Saga Insurance ha s chosen
to provide that ex t ra level of cover at the time of year
when people have more valuables in their cars or homes. ”
