Fire Poi & Life Insurance
Fire poi is a fascinating skill, its certainly one of the most dramatic and spectacular ways to captivate a crowd. It can also be rather dangerous, accidents can happen.
When applying for life insurance, fire poi likely wont affect your premiums, unless you’re competing or working at heights.
To double check this our advisers will ask you:
- How often are you using fire poi?
- Do you take part in competitions?
- Do you use fire poi in the UK or abroad?
- Do you use fire poi at heights?
- Are you doing fire poi as a hobby or for work?
Most insurers in the UK will not be too bothered about your fire poi, it might not even come up in your life insurance application. But, it’s really important to make sure if the insurer would want you to declare it under their extreme sports section. The question about extreme sports is often quite open for interpretation!
You will likely find that your application for life insurance will be accepted at standard terms. If you are performing at heights or outside of the UK, it might be that your options for life insurance change.
Our award winning advisers will find the best life insurance to protect you and your loved ones.
Fire Poi & Critical Illness Cover
Critical illness cover pays out a cash lump sum of money, if you are diagnosed with a medical condition that is listed in the insurer’s claims set e.g. cancer, heart attack, stroke.
You might be able to get critical illness insurance at a normal rates if you do fire poi. Fire poi is not listed specifically on UK insurers applications, but it could fall under their extreme sport question.
If you are a professional performer who uses fire poi as part of your routine, you might find that insurers look at your application differently to someone who does it as a hobby.
It is really key that you find the right insurer for your critical illness cover application, as an insurer that sees fire poi as an extreme activity could really increase your premiums.
Our award winning advisers are here for you, to find you the best critical illness policy that there is.
Fire Poi & Income Protection
Income protection pays you a replacement of your monthly income, if you are unable to work due to ill health.
