Confused.com launches overseas home insurance service

Confused.com, UK home insurance price comparison service, has launched a new overseas home insurance service, through Hiscox Insurance, where customers can insure their holiday homes without the stress of foreign insurance brokers and unfamiliar legal systems.

Customers no longer have to worry about translating foreign jargon in policy documents, or facing hidden costs, as the overseas home insurance service is written entirely in English, making the policies easy to understand. With no more than a few clicks, customers can obtain a competitive insurance quote for their overseas property, through a UK insurer from the comfort of their own home.

Carlton Hood, chief executive officer, Confused.com, said: "Confused.com is committed to providing a first-class service and the addition of the overseas home insurance facility strengthens our position as the only aggregator to offer this unique service.

"Our overseas insurance service will allow our home insurance customers to insure their holiday homes abroad, without the worry of language barriers or alien property laws which can make maintaining a property in the sun extremely stressful.

"It is our aim, with all of our insurance products, to deliver the most comprehensive and accessible a service for consumers, in order for them to make educated decisions based on which policy is right for them. The beauty of our new offering is that the consumer can now purchase insurance for their holiday homes from a UK broker, without any of the hassle of buying locally in a foreign language."
