Specialist military insurer Forces Financial is advising members of the Armed Forces, staff and families, who use personal vehicles on military establishments, to check they are covered by their motor insurance policy.
Forces Financial MD, Al Voice commented;
‘On my regular visits to bases in the UK and Germany I have become increasingly concerned about the number of servicemen and women I meet who are unaware of this particular exclusion on most high street motor insurance policies. Driving around base is a daily activity for many, and I urge everyone to take a quick look at their policy documents, or to ring their insurer to establish they are covered. If they find they need to make a change in order to be fully protected I recommend they include military specialist insurance providers in their search because we have years of experience of working with the Armed Forces, and consequently understand the unique circumstances they operate under. The premiums will not be the cheapest in the market, but that is precisely because the policies are tailor made for the task, and provide appropriate cover for the hazards faced by members of the Armed Forces community.'
For the correct level of protection and peace of mind whilst driving on or off duty car owners should look out for the following features, which are all available with Forces Financial motor policies:
• Cover for vehicles on military bases
• Laid up cover for periods of deployment
• Airside and portside cover
• Straightforward policy transfers between the UK and BFG when posted
• English speaking advisors and 24 hour claim service
