Paymentshield: Santa Claus is coming to claim!

Even at the most wonderful time of the year you need to be thinking about providing your clients with a quality insurance policy. Santa included. And, if Santa had quality Home Insurance with Paymentshield he could ensure he had a Christmas cracker rather than a Christmas crisis.

Festive flexibility

With all the presents he needs to deliver on Christmas Eve, along with the added festive treats, Santa has more contents in his home in the run up to Christmas than usual.
Thankfully, Paymentshield Home Insurance offers an automatic uplift in contents cover for the month before and after Christmas. So, if calamity struck and Santa had a December break-in, his insurance cover would protect him from being left out of pocket by having to replace all the gifts before the big day. Phew!

The Grinch

Speaking of theft, Santa would also be covered for any potential altercations he may encounter with the Grinch. Malicious damage caused from icy snow balls thrown through the window would be covered by Santa’s building insurance, as well as providing financial protection against theft from his shed while he’s out delivering presents.

Freezer failure

If the worst should happen and Mrs. Claus’ festive freezer stock gets damaged when it conveniently breaks-down, she should check to see if her policy covers it, as not all policies will. Thankfully, Santa’s quality Contents Insurance does provide cover for this – meaning the festive feast would be saved.

Snow storms

As you can imagine, the temperature in Lapland gets pretty low, which can lead to frozen pipes. Luckily, Santa’s buildings insurance would cover the cost of repairs should any damage happen – with his policy ensuring that all work by approved tradesmen is guaranteed for 12 months. Plus, with optional Home Emergency cover he’d be able to call someone out in double quick time to patch up any leaking pipes.

Defective deccies

If the lights on his Christmas tree caused a fire that resulted in a grotty grotto. His Home Insurance would cover all the fire and smoke damage to his buildings, as well as replacing his contents on a new for old basis.

If the grotto can’t be quickly repaired, Santa’s Home Insurance ensures that both he, Mrs. Claus and the Reindeer would be given alternative accommodation until their home becomes habitable again.

Christmas Eve

There’s zero room for panic on his busiest night of the year, so if Santa should lose his wallet or phone whilst out delivering, there’s no need to worry, as long as Santa has Personal Possessions cover for anything normally worn or carried away from the home. He’d even be covered for the loss of money in his wallet and for misuse of his credit card, meaning he’s not out of credit.

Plus, good insurers will even replace his locks and lost keys as standard.

Whether it’s Santa, or any other client, it’s good to remind them about the benefits of quality home insurance, to help them avoid any Christmas disasters. It’s also important to remind them that home insurance is for life, not just for Christmas.
