Does your insurance cover you for snow related incidents?

As the UK population get to grips with the heaviest snowfall for nearly 20 years, the ABI (Association of British insurers) has stepped forward to suggest that members of the UK population check their insurance policies if they have been affected by snow. The ABI has specifically targeted travel insurance and car insurance which can in many circumstances offer significant cover for incidents relating to weather.



This comes on a day when the AA confirmed that Monday morning callouts were up by a staggering 50% due in the main to a car accidents and problems starting engines in the morning. The significant snowfall across the country have seen bus services in London cancelled, airport closed and in total around 1100 miles of tailbacks across the UKs motorways (with a 53 mile tailback on one single motorway stretch!).



The UK insurance industry is primed for a significant increase in claims over the coming days and weeks as weather issues continue to grab the headlines. This will also test to see whether UK households have as much cover as they may have thought, and could catch out those who have reduced their insurance premiums to save money in the short term.
