Smart Insurance Tips

Simple, practical advice to help you get the most out of your cover — and avoid the common mistakes that cost people at claim time.

Tip 1

Review Policies Annually

Review your policies every year so they still match your life — a new job, home, car or family situation.

Tip 2

Bundle to Save

Combining home, motor and life cover with the same provider can earn real discounts and simplify your payments.

Tip 3

Understand the Fine Print

Read the terms and exclusions. Knowing what isn't covered prevents nasty surprises when you make a claim.

Tip 4

Set the Right Coverage Amount

Avoid underinsurance — work out how much cover you actually need based on your assets, lifestyle and liabilities.

Tip 5

Keep Contacts Updated

Make sure your beneficiaries, emergency contacts and insurer all have accurate details for claims and enquiries.

Tip 6

Document Everything

Keep copies of policies, receipts and claim forms — digital and physical. It speeds things up in an emergency.

Tip 7

Buy Travel Insurance Early

Buy travel cover right after booking so trip-cancellation and medical benefits apply from day one.
