FAQ
Will motor insurance cover damage to vehicles?
Yes, comprehensive motor insurance covers damage to your vehicle. If you have third party fire and theft, this does not cover damage as a result of storms or floods. If your vehicle is damaged by someone else or their property (such as a falling roof tile) to be able to claim against them you would need to show that they were legally liable (negligent).

FAQ
Will home insurance premiums go up after a storm?
Property insurance premiums are not usually impacted by one event, but rather on the cost of a range of many different factors. One event will not usually push up property insurance premiums across the board. If you have made a claim or claims during the year this may impact on your premium at renewal, depending on the cost of the claim.
If you have made a claim you could lose any no claim discounts that built up, which could make a difference to the following year’s premiums. However, home insurance is very competitive so we always advise people to shop around for the best cover for them.

FAQ
If bad weather prevents me from travelling can I claim on travel insurance?
You should contact your airline or travel agent for advice. Some travel insurance policies may offer some cover for missed flights due to your journey to the airport being disrupted in certain circumstances, so check your travel policy. If your flight is delayed by bad weather, then policies may pay a fixed cash sum after a specified number of hours delay, and also if delay caused by bad weather forces you to abandon your trip.

FAQ
What are the different policies?
Life insurance can be taken out by one person on their own or jointly with someone else, for example by a couple who are buying a home together with a joint mortgage. You might have thought about taking out life insurance when you got married, bought a house or had children to make sure your partner could cope financially if the worst happened. -
FAQ
Does the ABI help with customer complaints and if so, can it punish insurers who have treated their customers unfairly?
No. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regulates the actions of insurance companies, not the ABI. The FCA can be contacted on 0800 111 6768.
If you have a complaint, you should first write to the insurance company concerned. If you are not satisfied with the company’s response, you may take your case to the independent complaints body for insurance, the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) to see if they can help. The FOS can be contacted on 0800 023 4567.
