Why apply for a Tower House Insurance?

Tower House Insurance offers you a variety of benefits to go with the cover. Although there are varying options, the features are equally competitive to meet specific needs. They’ll also encourage you to apply for more than one policy so that you can pay only one excess when an incident happens and you need to claim on multiple Tower policies. This helps you to save money and to process claims faster.

Tower House Insurance policy discounts

When you apply for more than two policies, you can be entitled for a discount and save up to 20% on your Tower House Insurance policy. When you apply for contents insurance to go with your house insurance, you can get a discount and save up to 10% off your combined premium.
