RSA celebrates National Trust partnership with contents offer

In celebration of its recent partnership with the National Trust, RSA will be offering all new home insurance customers 50% off their contents premium when they take out a combined National Trust building and contents policy.

The offer will be valid until 26 April 2009 but even customers whose insurance is due for renewal beyond the cut off date can benefit.

RSA has introduced this offer to celebrate its position as sole provider of National Trust home and motor insurance policies, a partnership that is contracted to continue for the next four years.

Thanks to RSA, National Trust members are now able to buy insurance cover through a variety of channels including the Trust's website: nationaltrust.org.uk.

The insurance products are available as a single combined policy or as separate policies. Buildings cover is insured up to £450,000 and contents covered for up to £55,000. Customers can also benefit from 24 hour emergency assistance and a personal customer manager.

In addition to the 50% offer, RSA's insurance product has been designed to support the National Trust's dedication to protecting the environment. All customer communications will be printed on recycled paper and a donation will be made to the National Trust with every policy sold. Additionally, members who are already environmentally conscious and drive cars with a CO2 rating lower than 120g/km will be rewarded with a discount on their motor insurance. Home insurance discounts are offered to customers with properties with solar panels.

Commenting on the offering, Andy Elkington, Partnerships Director of Affinity at RSA, said: "RSA is strongly committed to reducing its environmental impact, being the first carbon neutral insurer and a successful provider of green products such as discounts to drivers of hybrid cars. Given this, I am delighted that we can partner with an organisation such as the National Trust with which we share a common goal to protect the environment.

"By providing this 50% discount to consumers in the current financial climate, our hope is that it will encourage more to take insurance with the National Trust and, in doing so, help safeguard the nation's historic sites, coasts and countryside."

Lesley Lawrie, Corporate Partnership Manager for the National Trust added, "By choosing National Trust insurance, our supporters will not only be protecting their own homes and contents, but helping the Trust protect its hundreds of historic homes and buildings across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. RSA's commitment to the environment makes the partnership with the Trust - as Europe's largest conservation organisation - even stronger."
