The offer is available to anyone taking out home insurance with Barclays for the first time until 31st August 2009. Gary Duggan, managing director for consumer lending and insurance for Barclays, said: “This offer could help thousands of people to cut the cost of their home insurance and it’s also a perfect opportunity to make sure they are currently covered for all eventualities.
“Whilst we’re helping with monthly payments, people must remember that the most costly mistake when it comes to home insurance is being under-insured. A family living in Chelmsford taking out, our standard contents insurance of £50,000, could pay just £5.66 a month, knocking £68 of their annual bill.”
The offer extends to additional covers – for example, full accidental damage cover and personal possessions cover. Customers who take Barclays Home Insurance benefit from the following features:
A dedicated 24-hour claims helpline
A further 10 per cent online discount
Contents cover with liability as occupier of up to £2,000,000 as standard
Standard Contents cover of up to £50,000
Standard Buildings cover of up to £500,000
