Aviva expands Direct Line home insurance coverage

Aviva has updated its Direct Line home insurance range in the UK, increasing coverage limits across its Silver, Gold and Platinum tiers. The products are available to new customers, with existing customers moving to the updated policies at renewal.

Home Emergency callout limits have doubled to £1,000, with coverage optional on Silver and Gold and included with Platinum. Buildings cover for alternative accommodation, kennel fees and lost rent has increased to £50,000, £75,000 and £125,000, respectively.

Theft from outbuildings limits have increased to £1,000 for Silver, £5,000 for Gold and £7,500 for Platinum. Cover for belongings at university, college or boarding school has risen to £10,000 on Gold and £15,000 on Platinum.

All three tiers now carry no excess for emergency access claims and a reduced £50 excess for frozen food claims. Direct Line also continues to charge no administration fees for mid-term policy changes.
