Title: Anyone used VetsMediCover for insurance?
Post by: SteveFrancis on April 04, 2020, 11:04:03 PM
I’ve had a look through the other insurance-related posts, but couldn’t see a mention of VetsMediCover, sorry if I’ve missed it.

Has anyone used them and had good or bad experiences to report?

Looking at lifetime cover, up to £10k, with £90 excess. Premium is £26 per month, which compares favourably to other insurers for the same level of cover.

But grateful to hear of any feedback on the insurer.

Many thanks,
Steve

Hi sorry I can’t answer your question but also looking for a good insurer. We used Petplan last time, and the claim system is good but they are really expensive.

Who did you opt for in the end?

I am finding these days that good deals happen then after a while insurers change things. Morethan was really cheap then now they're not. Petplan seem to be the most consistent of them all

Yes this is the trouble isn’t it!

Although I am with Animal Friends and finger crossed the only claim was last year and as Ollie was 11 I feared the premiums would sore and they didn't - I have heard and read many times about Bought By Many insurance also the KC Insurance - worth looking at the reviews.

Why I wont promote Animal Friends is because they have had a few bits of bad press and I knew that they phoned the two previous vets for Ollie's history when I made the claim....while that is what they do I kept thinking that my premiums had paid for his treatment 10 times over.  But with vet bills it is good to have,
