Responding to the news of a car park fire at Luton Airport an ABI spokesperson said:
“Owners of vehicles caught up in this fire will naturally be very concerned. Comprehensive and third-party fire and theft motor insurance policies will cover fire damage. Drivers affected should notify any claim to their motor insurer. We will continue to work with our members and Luton Airport to understand the situation, as and when more information becomes available.
"It is too early to estimate the insured cost of the fire.
“Travellers caught up in the disruption following the fire should check the position with their air carrier or travel operator. Some travel polices may offer limited cover for delays, or any abandonment of travel.”
