Some companies allow you to combine critical illness cover with life insurance in one policy. Because we focus on cancer cover only the average critical illness policy (where life cover is included) will be 41% more expensive than Virgin Cancer Cover.
If you’re after cover for you and your partner, Virgin Cancer Cover gives you an even better deal.
You each get your own policy, and they’re jointly owned so we put them together in one plan for you. It gives you a big advantage over traditional ‘joint life’ cover, where once one of you makes a claim the cover ends.
With us, you each have your own ‘pot’ of cover, so a claim on one won’t affect the other. So if you and your partner take out £100,000 cover – that’s £100,000 cover against cancer, terminal illness or death for you, and £100,000 of cover for your partner. Any claim your partner makes doesn’t affect your cover. And vice versa.
Best of all, when you and your partner apply and pay for your cover together, we’ll give you a discount.
