Insurance Hero Will Quote To Include Your Motor Sport Activities

Insurance Hero has built strong relationships with specialist underwriters, including those who insure motorsport activities.

Our aim, wherever possible, is to include your motorsport activities in your sports-person life insurance policy and not exclude them.

Depending on your motorsport participation, insurers may load premiums, not quote, or prohibit your activity from the life cover.

We want to understand the nature of your motorsport activities. We use a fact-finding questionnaire that we complete with you, so we can pass accurate details of your motorsport participation to underwriters.

Before offering motorsports life insurance, income protection, and critical illness coverage, underwriters will want to know the extent of your motorsport activities.

Typical questions may include:

• What type of sport(s) are you involved in?
• How often do you participate in your sporting activity?
• Are you involved in cars, motorbikes or boats?
• What is the horsepower or engine used in your motorsport activity?
• What is your level of participation in motorsports?
• Recreational
• Amateur
• Semi-professional
• Professional

How Does Life Insurance Cover Work With Motor Sports?

Life insurance cover provides a financial lump sum to designated beneficiaries if the policyholder dies. The size of the payout is at the outset of the life cover policy. Insurance Hero will review your circumstances through a fact-finding questionnaire.

There are several reasons to get life insurance. One is to ensure any financial debt is settled in the event of your death.

Such commitments may include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Personal loans
• Outstanding mortgage
• Credit card debt
• Car loan
• Hire purchase agreements
• Equity release
• Hire purchase
• Bank overdrafts

Another reason may be to provide your family with a regular income to replace your salary should anything happen to you, which is helpful if you are the household’s primary breadwinner, Mother or Father.

Even if you have no debt and no mortgage, providing for your wife and children in the event of your death is useful.

Critical Illness Cover Explained

What would happen to you and your dependents if you can no longer work following the diagnosis of an illness or a life-changing medical procedure?

A critical illness policy, like other types of life cover, pays a lump sum in return for regular premiums paid over the life of the cover.

We determine the payout amount at the outset of the policy, when Insurance Hero completes a fact-finding questionnaire to understand your specific requirements if you’re unable to work.

To provide accurate information to our specialist underwriters, we will ascertain:

• Your monthly financial needs
• Your general personal health
• Financial liabilities
• The needs of your dependents
• The nature of the job you do
• Participation in higher-risk pursuits

Based on this information, we will work with you to determine the lump-sum requirement and policy duration, allowing the underwriter to return with a corresponding premium.

Not all illnesses or medical procedures are covered under critical illness cover in the policy.

An example of diseases generally covered includes, but is not limited to, the following:

• Progressive supranuclear palsy
• Heart attack
• Benign spinal cord tumour
• Pulmonary artery surgery
• Structural heart surgery
• Liver failure
• Stroke
• Cardiac arrest
• Heart valve replacement or repair
• Multiple system atrophy
• Systematic lupus erythematosus
• Traumatic brain surgery
• Aorta graft surgery
• Alzheimer’s disease or pre-senile dementia
• Loss of Speech permanently
• Loss of a hand or a foot
• Devic’s disease

A typical policy will pay out if you survive for ten days after being diagnosed with a qualifying critical illness, providing peace of mind for your family.

About Motorsport Income Protection Cover

Like other associated motorsport life insurance cover, income protection provides a regular salary if you’re unable to work. At the same time, you recover from an illness or accident.

As an amateur or professional motorsport participant, a crash may keep you from returning to your day job.

Income protection cover can fill this gap if your employment contract doesn’t pay you when you are not working, or only for a limited period.

After a claim, income protection will take effect after a pre-agreed period ranging from one month to one year.

At the start of the policy, we determine the required premium to cover your salary. The plan’s duration is also set and can extend to retirement age.

Consider income protection if you have financial commitments, including some of the following:

• An outstanding mortgage
• Equity release
• Personal loans
• Credit card debt
• Car loan
• Hire purchase agreements
• Bank overdrafts

For more information on all types of life cover, including income protection, contact Insurance Hero. We will endeavour to include your participation in motorsports under your policy.
