Directline.com has gone live with pet insurance, saying cover can be bought in two minutes.

Policies are available for dogs and cats, as long as they are in good health and aged between eight weeks and eight years at the start of cover (six for certain breeds).

For around £12, the policy provides cover abroad for three trips per year, each at 30 days' duration, providing the customer's pet meets all the relevant Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food criteria.


The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.

Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
Many congratulations to all the worthy winners and as always, huge thanks to our sponsors for their support and our judges for their expertise.
