Title: Another question about insurance - sorry!
Post by: Queen-Penguin on September 01, 2007, 17:34:53 PM
Hi all

Sorry for another insurance question, but I am really crap at understanding stuff like this! I have a quote from Tesco and it says that they would pay £4,000 per condition. Does that amount sound about right for £6.24 a month?

Depends on the age of the cat to a large extent and your postcode to a smaller extent ... I recently had a quote from them for Bella, for £4.35 a month.  I think that was for £4k per condition ... she is 2 years 5 months old.

The kind of payout you want is per year, like M&S and Petplan. Per condition can be gobbled up if you need to see a specialist which is the kind of bills peoples need help with.

'Fraid although it seems like a good price, I wouldnt touch it, esp not with a young cat - I wouldnt even use Sainsbury's with a young cat though, as things are so expensive - an MRI done through the specialist my vet uses would cost you £2k, and that is purely for that, it doesn't take into account anything done before or after, so your £4k wouldnt' go far in that kind of situation.
