WE HAVE THREE NEW INSURANCES COMING OUT OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS –
the first one offered is 
TRAVEL INSURANCE – Check this out
TRAVEL INSURANCE.
Aon Risk Services have added a new product to the existing range of insurance products available to members.
The Travel Insurance is a top of the range product and includes such benefits as unlimited medical expenses cover.
One of the extra benefits Aon has negotiated for members with the underwriters, Ace Insurance, is the deletion of the Terrorism exclusion. (Except for designated War zones e.g. Iraq.)
This means if you travel to somewhere such as Bali and have a claim resulting from a terrorist attack of some kind, you will be covered.
Given the nature of Travel insurance it must be remembered the premium must be paid in full when taking out the policy as cover only commences once the premium is paid. For this reason premiums may not be paid by direct debit or payroll deduction.
In addition, Aon will be introducing two further products during 2004. Lawsafe, a personal legal defense costs cover and Landlords Protection providing malicious damage by tenants and loss of rents cover for investment properties.
To obtain your Travel insurance simply call Aon on 0800 50 51 52.
