Our verdict

John Lewis Money underwrites its own policies rather than reselling someone else's, and its home, travel, car and pet cover sits with a partnership founded in 1929. It suits households that want a single provider for several policies and would rather read a plain premium figure than a discounted headline.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Cover is written by the insurer itself, so the same organisation sells the policy and handles the claim.
  • A general household mix in home, travel and auto, so several policies can sit with the same provider.
  • Trading since 1929 under John Lewis Partnership plc, a record longer than most newer providers.

Cons

  • The mix stops at home, travel and auto, with no life, health, gadget or motorcycle lines in the list.
  • Cover sits with the insurer, insurer, so claims are settled by the seller rather than a separate underwriter.
  • Hiscox UK and Good Sam Insurance Agency both list landlord, renters and home emergency cover, which sit outside home, travel and auto.

Frequently asked questions

Is John Lewis Money an insurer or a broker?+

What kinds of policy does John Lewis Money sell?+

home, travel and auto are the lines on offer, covering home, travel, auto and pet. That is a general household mix rather than a single niche, so a family can hold several policies with the same provider and use a single claims process across them.

When was John Lewis Money founded?+

The partnership behind the policies dates back to 1929, a trading record that runs well past most newer entrants in the personal market. The insurance is written under John Lewis Partnership plc, the same name that carries the retail and money businesses.

Where is John Lewis Money based?+

The insurer is based in the United Kingdom and sells its policies there, so the cover and the claims sit with a home market provider rather than an overseas one. That also puts the contract and the claims handling under the same domestic legal system.

How do its premiums compare with the rest of the market?+

Across the site the premium midpoint is €8.37. Car insurance listings sit at €8.72 at their midpoint, and travel at €7.93, so compare the line you actually want rather than a group average.

What does John Lewis Money not cover?+
