Post Office van insurance offers physio

Fri 9th Feb 2007

Small and family businesses are set to benefit from a new Post Office van insurance product that will help claimants get back to work quicker after being injured in an accident.

The new Post Office van insurance will entitle policy holders to undergo a physiotherapy programme to help them recover from their injuries quicker and return to work sooner.

This is an important consideration for the self-employed in particular. The Post Office estimates that the nation has some 1.3 million non-fleet vehicles belonging to small businesses or firms run by families.

"By including free physio treatment for injured drivers and accident assistance, our new van insurance can help get small business back on the road quickly if the worst happens," commented Claire Oldstein, the head of communications at Post Office Financial Services.

She added that more than three quarters of the UK's small businesses use the Post Office on a regular basis for banking services and posting parcels.

"We know how important it is for them to keep moving and trading if they have an accident," Ms Oldstein concluded.

People who sign up for Post Office van insurance on the provider's website are eligible for a cashback offer of £50.
