  • Is there a limit to the pub insurance cover?

    Most pub insurance policies will cover materials damage up to €20million, €13.5m for employers liability and €6.5m for public liability. Additional limits can be arranged if required.

  • If I own more than one pub, can they all be put on one policy?

    Yes, you can put more than one pub on the policy should they be owned by the same owner or company. However you should always discuss the details with one of our trusted brokers, because it may not be in your interest to have all pubs together in the same policy. One pub may have a poorer claims history than another or be rated higher, thus significantly impacting the premium.

    You will need to have the details of your pub, your location, licence details, annual turnover, sum to be insured and your number of employees. Our partner brokers will contact you to confirm all details directly over the phone.

    You can pay policy by cheque, card payment online or over the phone. Some brokers will even offer you the option of paying by instalment.
