A new alternative for farm insurance is looking to provide more choice for farmers, covering everything from farm buildings, livestock, farm machinery and on-farm homes.
The insurance product is provided by An Post Insurance as an intermediary, and is underwritten by Axa Insurance.
An Post Insurance Farm Insurance allows farmers “pick and choose the cover they want, or what is necessary for their farm and their needs”, according to Dominic Kelly, sales manager for An Post Insurance.
You can tailor the package as you need it.
“Typically, farmers are looking to cover their farm property, their livestock and any outbuildings on the farm. You can also insure your tractor, your jeep or other farm machinery you may have. Of course, we can also cover the farm house and its contents.”
Another important cover for farmers is public liability.
“If one of your animal’s breaks out on the road and causes damage, or if someone injures themselves while on your land, you can protect yourself with our policy,” Dominic explained.
As well as ringing up An Post Insurance and looking for a quote, farmers can also walk into any An Post office in the country, give some details at the post office counter, and someone from An Post Insurance will then call them to discuss their needs and offer them a quote.
An Post will also have information brochures about the insurance product in offices nationwide.
“There’s a good crossover between the post office customer base and farming, rural communities. Many farmers are in their local post office on a weekly basis,” Dominic noted.
“So now, with our offering, they can combine this visit with the opportunity to learn more about the An Post Insurance Farm Insurance product.
We see it as a competitive offering… You can tailor the package to suit your needs as a farmer. Every single farm is different. Every farmer’s needs are slightly different. Our policy is designed so you can pick and choose the covers that are suitable to you.
“In this extraordinary times due to Covid-19 restrictions, getting face-to-face advice on your farm insurance needs can be difficult. But rest assured, An Post Insurance will be available to answer any questions that you might have.”
