Car Insurance
Apricot Insurance offers comprehensive car insurance solutions tailored to drivers in Northern Ireland and the UK. Our policies include third-party, fire and theft, and fully comprehensive options, with add-ons like breakdown cover and legal expenses. With competitive quotes from leading insurers, we ensure affordability without compromising on protection. Our FCA-regulated services cater to learners, convicted drivers, and those requiring temporary or import car insurance.
Home Insurance
We provide buildings and contents insurance for homeowners and tenants across the UK. Our policies protect against fire, flood, theft, and accidental damage, with optional add-ons for high-value items. As Northern Ireland's average home insurance costs are 30% higher than mainland UK, we specialise in helping clients secure cost-effective coverage. Policies can be combined for savings and tailored to include accidental damage protection or unoccupied home coverage.
Van Insurance
Apricot Insurance offers van insurance for private and commercial use, including goods-in-transit and hire-and-reward policies. Coverage options range from third-party to comprehensive, with telematics available for younger drivers. We cater to tradespeople requiring tool carriage cover and businesses needing fleet insurance. Our NI-based team understands local risks, ensuring competitive premiums for vans stored securely overnight.
Landlord Insurance
Our landlord insurance policies protect residential and commercial rental properties with buildings, contents, and public liability coverage. Features include rent guarantee, malicious damage protection, and HMO/AirBnB-specific policies. We address unique risks like tenant non-payment and property damage, offering tailored solutions for single or portfolio landlords. Policies are FSCS-protected and available with flexible excess options.

Personal service is much better than online quoting for insurance discussions and in this respect Kevin of Apricot Insurance was extremely helpful. Apricot's prices were competitive to begin with but with the insights provided by Kevin they easily moved to pole position.
