Ten weird and wonderful insurance policies
By Kirsten Hastings, 11 Nov 16
People often lump insurance into three categories: car, home, and life. While few would think of the world of insurance as an exciting place, Aegon has put together a list of 10 weird and wonderful insurance policies to brighten, what has been for some, a dreary week.
Long haul trip
Although you might envisage that a midnight trip to Mars might be covered by your travel insurance, in all likelihood, it’s not.
However, if UFO abduction is a concern, there are more options for you thank you may think.
While Lloyds of London claim to have around 20,000 insurance policies covering UFO or alien abduction, in order to make a claim, you need to take a lie detector test and have a third party witness to get your pay-out.
Coconutted
In 1984, it was claimed that 150 people a year died after being hit on the head by falling coconuts. Shortly afterwards, a UK travel company, took out an unusual policy: Injury by falling coconut insurance.
One of their customers visiting Sri Lanka was subsequently hit on the head by a falling coconut and successfully made a claim.
