    Probably. Many of the affiliates offer similar deals. £18 off standard membership for the first year: you can see the Porsche on the drive already...

      Yep - but since I wasn't expecting to find one, it's better than nothing!

        Malvolio, as you appear to be the fountain of all knowledge regarding PCG insurance etc can you give me a little guidance
        I am getting a quote from randelldoring and the "Aggregate Professional Indemnity limit required inclusive of costs and expenses" - is this the shared pool of 1/2mil, and you can select a value of 100K ? Also regarding the PI and PL if you don't specifiy a value does it default to 2m and 1m ?

        I am getting a quote of £178 for turnover of 100K ? How does that sound ?

          The £100k is guaranteed to be available, the shared pool isn't. You could take a different value to £100k if you wish, and that would affect the premium. You've got different parameters to me and a lower turnover, so I would expect a lower quote. Looks about in line with mine though.

          What cover you actually need is determined by your contract, of course.

            I've just looked through my contract and there are no figures mentioned, it just states that "the supplier shall ensure the provision of adequate Employer's Liability Insurance, Public Liability Insurance and any other suitable policies."

            Seems like I can choose a value and go for it ?

            So just to be clear in my head, the £178 I have been quoted is for PI/PL and EL ? Is that correct ?

              I don't know, I haven't seen the schedule. But if it's the normal RD policy, then yes.

                  Google is your friend....

                  You don't need both. PCG is cheaper.

                      Do the sums properly. Cost each element you will need to match PCG membership + PI/PLI/ELI to the same level coverage for the same turnover.

                      PCG is around 10% less.

                      QED...
