Id like to recommend ARGOS Home Insurance (underwritten by Heath Lamber Insurance services) not only did they give me an outstanding buildings & contents cover deal (buildings & contents, to include total reinstatement, £20k contents cover & my £1000 TV, accidental cover on the contents & no excess AT ALL - all for £96) which is a bargain in itself!
&
As a new customer I get a voucher for £10 to spend in Argos stores
&
I get free Keycare service which gives you:
£1000 cover on replacement locks and keys if your keys are lost or stolen and are not returned with the free post tag included!!
3 days car hire if your stranded due to loss or theft of your car keys
up to £1000 towards any call out charges if you get locked out your home or car, or if you break a key in a lock & need to call someone out to get you in.
90% chance of recovering your keys as you get a tag to stick on them so if you lose them & someone finds them they just have to call a number or hand in at a police station to return them & claim their free £10 reward!!
Fucking impressed with all that!! I'll wait for the renewal price & update accordingly!!
