Eligibility
Cover for Channel Island residents only applies where the policy is being purchased in the Channel Islands and the Broker/Agent arranging cover is registered under the appropriate regulations to sell cover within the Channel Islands. Any Broker/Agent registered to conduct business in the Channel Islands must ensure they are regulated with the FCA to transact business for UK residents.
Premiums
There will be some small rating adjustments – the first for 2 years.
June Renewals
Due to the change of Underwriter, we cannot at the present time offer the usual renewal facility. Between now and the 31st May 2016, instead of following the renewals process, please offer your Client a new quotation for a new policy.
Quotes provided and any sales made between now and 31st May 2016, will be issued on the current 2015/16 scheme underwritten by AmTrust Europe Limited. For those quotes provided or sales made on or after 1st June 2016, the new Underwriter’s terms, including revised premiums, will apply.
Websites
Our B2B platform and PJH product page have been updated.
Please note: The Travel Plus B2C facility will be temporarily withdrawn from 1st June.
We are currently working on a new website build including a new responsive quote & buy journey. In the meantime, if you would like a B2C facility to be able to offer travel insurance via your own website, please call us on 02392 419 050 or email info@pjhayman.com.
