RIAS launches Key Protection cover on car insurance policy
Over 50s specialist insurance provider RIAS has launched Key Protection cover, which reduces the distress and costs associated with replacing keys in the event of any customer's car or house keys being lost or stolen.
Available as an additional cover option for all current and new RIAS motor insurance customers, Key Protection provides customers with reassurance that all their keys are covered - car, home, second property, let property, holiday home and office (including safe keys) - for just £1.50 a month.
The cover provides protection to all family members at the home address, and no excess payable if customers do need to make a claim. This small investment can not only protect against costly key replacement charges, but is crucial in protecting valuable personal data, personal safety, and home security.
With reimbursement of up to £1,500 towards lock and key replacement, as well as onward transportation in the event of lost or stolen keys, customers can simply add Key Protection to their motor insurance policy, and benefit from dual protection covering their home keys too.
The RIAS Key Protection product offers the following benefits:
An Emergency Assistance helpline - 24 hours, 365 days a year;
Up to £75 per day, for up to three days, for car hire if the customer is stranded from their home due to theft or loss of their car keys, or alternatively reasonable public transport or taxi fares;
Gaining access in the event that the customer's keys are locked in or broken in the lock of their vehicle, home or office and, if necessary, provide reimbursement for a replacement key or lock;
Covers keys to a second property, a let property and a UK holiday home.
Janet Connor, Managing Director at RIAS said: "Following the success of introducing Key Protection to our home insurance policy last year, we are delighted to be extending our motor insurance options, enabling customers to tailor the cover levels and benefits that are right for them. We all know it can be traumatic and expensive to lose your keys, but now our motor insurance customers can add this extra protection to their policy for just £18 a year, avoiding the headache, and heartache, of losing their keys in one easy step."
Key Protection for motor insurance customers is just the latest additional cover option in the successful ‘Add-on' range provided by RIAS. Customers can ensure their motor insurance policy meets their exact needs and requirements, and give themselves complete comprehensive cover and reassurance by choosing to add Legal Protection (£24), Excess Protection (£27) or MOT Protection (£39.96) to their policy.
RIAS motor insurance customers can also enjoy the following:
A protected no-claims discount;
A dedicated 24-hour claims service;
A free courtesy car during repair;
Extra discounts for low annual mileage, overnight garaging and cars over four years old;
Cover to drive in Europe for up to 91 days.
