UIA Mutual Insurance has been providing great value, high quality insurance to trade union members and their families for over 130 years. Our services are also available to the general public looking to benefit from our competitive premiums and wide range of cover on Home, Travel, Pet and Car Insurance.
We've often been asked "What does UIA stand for?" Our long standing relationship with the Trades Union movement is central to the answer and in 2016 we registered Union Insurance Association as a trading name of UIA (Insurance) Ltd, to help make it clear where our values lie. Being mutual means we are owned by our policyholders; which enables us to keep premiums low, provide excellent products and employ highly trained staff.

I've recently had leak through my roof caused during a storm. Claim turned down as apparently not storm damage as didn't rain enough, 2 days later it did but I'd already made the claim. Surveyor said the leak was caused by the strong winds blowing the rain up under the tiles causing the leak. No damage to roof externally so hardly something I could have forseen and prevented. Very poor service especially as only went with them as suggested for NHS employees. Will be cancelling my policy.

This business masquerades as the go-to place for trade unionists who wish to avoid the skulduggery of the capitalist providers. Indeed they mention an implied absence of "a raft of exclusions" in their policies as one of the reasons to use them. When waiting on their line listening to music, while attempting to contact them to discuss the myriad of exclusions in their travel insurance policy, l had time to contemplate one of the other arguments they use as a justification for using their agency: "does a low price come at the expense of a good service"? While they they trumpet this in their renewal

I had an email conversation with Georgina at UIA this morning to update some details on my policy - she was so helpful and sorted everything out very quickly - I can't praise her enough! And I've just had my renewal letter arrive in the post - it's only increased by a few pounds since last year, so no question, UIA has my business for another year.

We have been a customer for a year,when our renewal came through and the premium has increased by 25%..... we have made no claims and our circumstances have not changed. Having been recommended by my union I believe I and possibly many others have been duped by an unscrupulous company..
My sincere advice is not to do business with this company!
