Many people think that theft or disaster will never happen to them. They look on insurance as something that has to be paid grudgingly and they make sure that they are insured for the minimum – or not at all!

And yet at some stage in our lives it is likely that we will have to claim on our insurance for some mishap - it is just a question of when. So you should never underinsure your life or your property as this is a real false economy.

You know how it is, you see a film or a new restaurant on uknetguide, you are only gone for a few hours, but when you get back the house has been broken into. Or you go on an expensive holiday and fall sick – it can cost a fortune in some countries to get treatment. (more...)

If you read the terms and conditions of your car or home insurance policies you will usually find that the theft cover is invalidated under certain circumstances – that is, if you have not taken sufficient precautions to protect your property. This means that if you are careless you are in danger of having no cover if theft strikes.

For example if you leave the car doors unlocked – or even worse with the keys in – and the vehicle is stolen your insurance company will not pay out, so you have to make sure that you are careful with your property.

Many people like to get the once-over from a security specialist such as Kingdom security guard services – they will go around your house and look for weaknesses in your security. (more...)

Do you know just how secure your car is when you leave it at an airport car-park? You may think that it is being guarded 24/7 by people and often dogs; you may think that it is being watched constantly on CCTV and you may think that it is covered by Ontario car insurance, but is your car really secure?

I ask this because of a couple of recent high profile cases in the papers where things were not as they seemed. One guy left his car with a reputable airport car park company, only to return back two weeks later to find that it has accidentally been rented out to someone else! How on earth could this happen, you ask yourself?

Another case occurred where someone arrived back off their holiday to find that their car had been crashed and written off – and they had parked it themselves in the secure car park so it should not even have left the car park. (more...)

Just like other things in life, the value of information is priceless and every business owner should take great lengths to protect it. We are not just talking industrial espionage here, which is what many people imagine, but everyday information which can weaken or even bring down your business in the wrong hands.

Much of the time, this information is leaked, not through maliciousness, looking for profit or an intent to harm the business, but through sheer carelessness and this is where employee training plays such an important part.

Papers which are thrown in the bin without being shredded; documents left on the top of the desk for the world to see; or just gossiping down the pub about work can all leak information to people that you would rather remained private. Cost prices, client base, strategy plans; how are you going to get ahead of your competitors. (more...)

When it comes to insurance and security, everyone knows it is a burden. The cost and time involved can be ridiculous, putting people off necessary research and the potential to save a lot of money. But when it comes to comparison sites, the issue is not time but a question of knowing which to trust.

There are certain insurance companies that advertise as not being on comparison sites, and there is the possibility that a fair amount of comparison sites themselves are not exactly unbiased. This can make it difficult to choose your insurance company without a long time spent doing research.

Take direct line and aviva vs comparison sites for example. Although they advertise attractive insurance and home security deals, not being on comparison sites makes it harder for the consumer to make an informed decision. In searching for insurance, Direct Line and Aviva vs comparison sites may actually be a moot argument. (more...)
