Which life insurance brands do we work with?
We compare dozens of the biggest insurance providers in the country, including:
A life insurance cover will provide a lump sum to your loved ones when you die – so that they are financially comfortable and not struggling because you can no longer provide an income. Life cover can provide you with peace of mind, knowing that your family will be cared for after you have passed away, as well as receiving financial help for things such as funeral costs, mortgage payments, school fees, groceries and more.
If you decide to take out a life insurance policy, you will need to pay a premium on a monthly basis until the end of your policy’s term, starting from just a few pounds per month.
Whole life insurance – This is a life insurance policy which lasts for your entire life and you will keep paying into it until you die. Over time you will accumulate a large lump sum that will be paid to your next of kin upon your departure.
Term – This is where you take out life cover for a certain term such as 1-2 years or something like 10 or 15 years. This is more common when purchasing life insurance for employees as a type of employee perk or benefit. If you leave the organisation, you can always transfer this to an individual policy.
There are a number of things you need to take into consideration prior to starting to compare quotes online. You should think about the following:
The length of life insurance cover you want: how long do you want the policy to last? For example, do you want it to last 20 or 30 years in total.
Do you want level, increasing or decreasing cover? Level cover means you payout remains the same throughout. You also have the option of increasing cover so the payout gets larger over time or decreasing cover which means that it reduces the payout over time, and this is usually cheaper in terms of premiums.
The amount of life insurance cover you want: this will be how much an insurer will pay out to your loved ones when you have passed away. The amount of cover you will be eligible for will depend on many factors such as your age, current health status, whether you smoke, your income, how much you pay in premiums and more. Either way, it is good to calculate how much your family might need for the foreseeable future and basing your cover requirements on this.
