Military family kit insurance
Military family home contents insurance

What’s the definition of ‘military family’?

For insurance purposes, Forces Plan consider family to be your spouse, domestic partner or civil partner, children, domestic staff and any other person all permanently residing
with you and not paying a commercial rent.

Why do I need military family home insurance?

As you well know, working for HM forces is not like your average nine-to-five job. Your living arrangements and travel demands are unique and affect the whole family.

Furthermore, you could be deployed onto foreign soil at a moment’s notice – and you really don’t have time to worry about your military insurance coverage when you do.

Forces Plan can provide a tailored worldwide insurance policy specifically designed for those currently serving in:

British Army
Royal Navy
Royal Marines
RAF
Special Forces
Cadets
Reservists
Attached MOD civilians

Most military insurance companies are specifically tailored to serving armed forces rather than military veterans. However, Cherish Insurance Services does have a 5 Star civilian home insurance policy which offers outstanding cover and excellent value for money.

If this is of interest, please get in touch and inform us that you are ex-military.
