I looked into it at one time, and found it seemed impractical in terms of cost's per year


Yep, I think their fire & theft quotes are just plain crazy....something like a 10% annual premium of the total insured, so if you insure £10k of animals it will cost you approx £1000 a year!

If you compare that to standard contents insurance you can get £50k of fire and theft cover for less than £400!!!!

If you are appy to pay insurance premiums of £1000 then you would probably be better off spending that money on beefing up security, window grills, CCTV, alarms and solid steel doors etc Wink

I've been on the case and thought I would share the best quote so far....

Lloyd's of London

25k snakes

5k fixtures

Fire and Theft and Public Liability

£1217.00 per annum

£128.99 per month - paid over 10 months

You have to go via a broker... if anyone wants his details PM me Smile

I was going to suggest Lloyd's of London. Historically they used to insure items which mainstream companies didn't. I wasn't sure if this was still the case though. Obviously it is!!!! Very Happy
