In an industry where genuine personal attention has been replaced by generic ‘one size fits all’ policies, Royal Union offers tailored personal insurance, specific to your unique circumstances. No two of our insurance policies are the same, and you can be assured you will be provided with the absolute best cover for your needs and flawless personal service.

We look out for your best interests, so your policies are transparent and easily understandable. We explain everything clearly with minimal jargon, so there are no unpleasant, unexpected surprises when it comes to claiming.

In addition, our policies are inclusive of features that other insurance providers consider to be optional extras. Items such as car hire, cover for the hired car and emergency assist to name a few, are standard parts on all our policies, ensuring beyond a doubt that you are well protected, no matter what happens.

Unique to Royal Union, the Saver Series of insurance products is available to both business (Commercial Saver ®) and personal (Royal Saver ®) clients and offers the ultimate in flexibility combined with competitive pricing. The concept is based on co-insurance principles where you – the Insured – carry a portion of the risk up to an amount you feel comfortable with. In return for carrying a portion of the risk, you receive a portion of the premium to fund claims falling within this self insured portion. This concept allows you to reap immediate financial rewards by linking your policy to a corporate savings account. In line with our risk management philosophy, each Saver policy is individually underwritten.

What this all means is that you have complete control over your policy and can tailor it perfectly to suit your needs and circumstances.

In terms of business clients, the Saver Series serves as a bridge between a fully insured client and one who wants to move towards self-insurance, allowing time to ‘build’ a fund, yet still have access to the funds if the need arises.

The Saver Series can be applied to any type of insurance policy, but it is best suited to clients who ‘take more care’. If you are the type of person who tends to look after and protect your assets from loss or damage, then the Saver Series is the ideal fit for you.
