What extras can you get with farm insurance in Ireland?
Every farm insurance policy is different and will be tailored to your individual farming needs and circumstances, speak to our advisers and get the right farm insurance cover today.
Farm dwelling house and contents insurance is normally standard and will also cover the gates, walls, offices and garages immediately surrounding the house. Such a policy will provide storm and flood cover, theft and damage, and flood and fire.
Farm vehicle insurance is a must as your agri vehicles and tractors are vital to ensure the daily operation of your farm. The policy will have fully comp, third party or third party, fire and theft options, and may also include open driving at 16 years old.
Where would you be without your livestock? Livestock and pedigree animal insurance is a must. A typical policy will cover your livestock against fire and storms, during transit, or death by accident. More specialist cover may also be required for theft, sheep worrying, or accident, illness or disease to pedigree animals such as TB, Foot and Mouth and Brucellosis.
Often farmers have everything covered but themselves - how will your farm operate without you particularly in busy periods? Personal accident cover is a must in order to ensure your farm continues to operate should you be unable to work. Personal accident cover can also be extended to protect against death or permanent incapacity.
Public liability insurance is a must in order to protect you against claims made for injuries to a third party or damage to their property during a visit to your farm. You will also need to consider employer's liability insurance to cover you against claims made by any employees for injuries sustained whilst working on your farm. Environmental farm liability insurance is also common within farm policies to cover you against any clean-up costs for accidental contamination of surrounding soils or water supplies.
It is important to ensure your outbuildings and agri contents are covered against storm and fire damage. You should use the replacement cost to avoid being underinsured. You should also cover your agri contents to include: hay, straw, grains; tools; machinery and equipment; and milking equipment.
