Where can I buy insurance?

Where can I buy insurance?

Insurance products can be purchased in a variety of ways. 

Direct from an insurance company face to face, over the phone or via the internet. 

Via a comparison website.

Through insurance brokers who can offer advice about what product might suit your needs and circumstances best. 

From independent financial advisers who may also offer products such as life insurance or pensions.

From your bank or even supermarket while out shopping. 

Finally, you may find that some kinds of insurance are sold alongside another product they relate to – for example, getting travel insurance from your travel agent. 

Some customers may have bespoke needs, such as pre-existing medical conditions or unspent convictions, which require specialist attention from insurers.  If you are unable to find suitable cover on a comparison website or from your travel agent, for example, try contacting insurers direct or using a broker or financial adviser. 

If you have a pre-existing medical condition, and need help finding suitable cover, there are a number of organisations that will be able to help.

If you are an ex-offender you could try UNLOCK (the National Association of Reformed Offenders) or NACRO (National Association for the Care and Resettlement of Offenders)
