Each individual policy has its own set of benefits
Essential cover is the most basic M&S pet insurance. It allows you to claim, for each new condition, up to a specific limit in vet fees (maximum benefit) or for a maximum claim period of 12 months from the first date of vet treatment. Once you reach either limit, whichever comes first, you will no longer be able to claim for the same condition in the future even if you renew your policy.
Features of this policy include:
Standard cover is the mid-tier option, offering slightly better benefits than Essential cover. Standard cover is reinstated annually, as long as you renew with them and they can continue to offer you cover.
Features of this policy include:
Premier cover is the most comprehensive pet insurance policy on offer at M&S Bank. It includes higher cover limits than standard cover on a range of other features – you’re also insured if you take your pet abroad. The cover limit will be reinstated annually, as long as your policy is renewed with them each year.
Features of this policy include:
An excess is the amount of money you are expected to contribute when you make a claim through your insurance.
All of M&S’s policies have an excess for vet fees, but the amount you have to pay will depend on your type of policy you have, as well as how old your pet is. Check your policy documents to find out when and how much excess you have to pay.
