The Duncan Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 never mind chaps i found a topic on here already explaining this so im going to go with BASC and its £46 a year full cover If you haven't already signed up, the countryside alliance are doing it for the rest of this year for £28 which is half price. Covers £10m public liability and personal injury/death benefit of some kind too - worth a look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanishfly Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 We all need third party insurance, of course. But if you have home contents insurance the policy usually includes cover for third party liability for all members of your household. The only common, and obvious, exclusion is if you are driving a motor vehicle. Read your policy - you may be covered already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bing Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 I joined the national gamekeepers for insurance (based mainly on price)but have enjoyed the magazine and cuppa and crack at the game fairs, I think it is still the cheapest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenshooter Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 The beauty with BASC insurance is that you get 'double' insurance. Both the insurance you're asking about and the insurance that comes from the biggest shooting organisation with an excellent back up service if anything goes wrong eg if the police have an 'issue' with you.

Of course, BASC do not actually provide insurance cover themselves - all their business is underwritten by one of the major insurance companies, and it is they who will pay out (or not). But BASC do add a nice mark up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But BASC do add a nice mark up which, if true, is ploughed back into protecting the future of our sport. Fixed/completed it for you. The mark up is surely not relevant in any case since they don't sell just insurance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanishfly Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) Fixed/completed it for you. The mark up is surely not relevant in any case since they don't sell just insurance?

Glenshooter Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Spanishfly, said: And I am a ******** who misquotes and alters other people´s posts. Rather than behaving in an immature manner and engaging in personal insults, perhaps you'd like to answer the point. What 'nice mark up' does BASC add? As my understanding is that insurance is part of the 'benefits' of being a member, in common with many other shooting organisation, and your statement is therefore nonsensical.

garden gun Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 SF, Conduct unbecoming. All association/professional body insurances are underwritten by actual insurance companies. Building society/bank household insurances are equally with actual insurers. They all get commission - smell the coffee. CA, BASC, CPSA - you buy membership and in return get insurance and a whole lot more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, IIRC, BASC actually mention the cost of the insurance somewhere on their website to be completely transparant. But you get much more than just insurance with BASC membership. And I regard their advice / help desk as another form of 'insurance'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
