When you’re calling us for a new quote we may ask if you have any Home Service Clothing, but what is it?
The maximum age is 70, if you or an insured family member will be turning 71 whilst visiting the UK, we won't be able to cover them.
There is no minimum age and children under two years get free cover, children aged between two and sixteen receive cover for half the price.
We can only arrange cover whilst your relatives are in their home country.
Unfortunately not, the maximum length of cover we offer is 6 months.
Certainly, before the policy starts we can amend the dates or cancel the cover at no cost to yourself. Once the cover has started we will not be able to change the start date.
