Dekers Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 If you are ONLY interested in insurance, you can do a lot better than the BASC, actually virtually everyone charges less then them and give £5-10 Million insurance. Check online for shooting insurance only, it is available, you do not have to join any organisation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonevo Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 NGO National Gamekeepers Organisation £30 for full membership and you get £10 million public Liability Insurance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeker Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) Is it the Liability part or do you want to insure guns & kit?? All the organisations seem to give some liability cover with membership. And all the gun/kit policies seem to include liability ... As Dekers says ... just shop around and might be worth checking your household insurer. Edited November 20, 2010 by seeker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webber Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 There's cheaper; but none better than BASC. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchieboy Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 If it's just straightforward third party liability insurance you want these are the cheapest I have found: http://www.ccc3.org.uk/?page=home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J@mes Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 pretty sure one of the shooting magazines does insurance for 16.95 for a year or something like that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprackles Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 The insurance is one thing but when you need help and advice and maybe even legal assistance...a bog standard insurance won't give you that. I am paying for peace of mind, a voice in shooting matters and a helping hand should the brown stuff ever hit the fan. Well worth it for the extra few quid I am paying.

seeker Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 I guess its a bit like all insurance... does it do what you need at a price you're happy/ can live with ... ?? There's a similar thread on another site and one of the packages even includes a legal insurance for shooting /licensing matters. One size don't fit all?

David BASC Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Pay your money and make your choice. Like all things, the lower the cost, typically the less you get. Cheap insurance is fine, if you can live with the limits and restrictions on the policy, and the limits on when you can actually claim on the policy. As I have said so many times before, check the full policy wording before you part with your cash, otherwise you have no idea what you are actually buying! The chance of you ever making a claim is remote, because shooting is so safe and well run, so look at what else the associations deliver for you and for shooting. All the associations offer more than just insurance of course, so pick the one that fits you best. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
