Farmboy91 Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Is anyone using them this year/season? Came across the leftlet in this week's shooting times, £22.50 each for me and the missus + the gear covered from £19 seems a bargain, without the b.s of a shooting organisation.

Farmboy91 Posted October 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 I'm going to give them a call anyway, just can't beat first hand advice, I hoping the cover the guns when they are in the boot of the car, that's one of the key ones I'm looking for.

Jaymo Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 Your gear isn’t covered in that price from the quick online quote I just carried out. Mine came in at over £185, but of course it depends on how much coverage you need. Mines all listed on the house ins as separate items.

Jaymo Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 (edited) I used Compare the market site and listed each one separately and received s premium cheaper then last year when they weren’t included as specific items. But I did only insure them for damage/ theft from the home as they never leave my sight when out and about Edited October 12, 2018 by Jaymo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotslad Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 NGO/SGA, CA etc are only 30ish quid, is it really worth saving a tenner. Just seems very short sighted for the sake of a tenner ( couple of boxes of shells or 4/5 rifle bullets, esp when many will have £K's of shooting gear locked away) That cheap insurance won't help u when shooting is banned or u have a problems with ur gun licences (which the way licencing dept's are now u only have to **** without asking 1st to get guns taken off u.)

I see where your coming from, I did look at joint membership with basc too, would be nice to have one I can have a bit of faith in if the worst did happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotslad Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 Sorry but i can't see the point in use an independent insurance site and then still joining basc or another org. If u really just want cheap insurance ur better of just spending slightly more to join the likes of CA, NGO etc as are about £30ish, ur basc is nearer 70 quid If u care about shooting and its future it is important u are a member of 1 of the orgs (sadly most aren't doing wot they should) ur private insurance company/brooker doesn't care about shooting or if it was banned tomorrow, all they care about is ur money. Seemingly many of the cheaper orgs offer a differnt kind of insurance to basc, can't remeber the proper term now, but if u try to claim with them they'll tell u to claim of house ins 1st and only pay pout if ur house ins won't cover u, whereas the basc just pays out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By what I've seen and read basc aren't doing all then could be for the shooting community. Trust me, I'm more than happy to stand up and defend what we all do to anyone that tries to question us. I'll more than likely end up with basc anyway just find it's always handy to hear others experiences too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norfolk dumpling Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 Scotslad - you are correct and it's called a non-contribution clause which essentially means if there is any other insurance in force covering the same risk then there is no cover. BASC doesn't have this so the price is much higher. I have all the cover I need on my Aviva household insurance but I still have to have BASC for a syndicate I'm in. It does tick me off that I'm paying twice for the same cover but this happens so many times with after sales insurance, particularly for mobile phone.
