| March 27, 2013

budgetcontrolWhen looking for insurance provider to give you and your family a financial assistance if emergencies occur, there are important things to consider and to look at when deciding which company you should go for. A lot of insurance companies have different proposals on each particular insurance policy but they have a lot of benefits in common.

Insurance monthly premium may depend on what a person needs and how well his behaviour in the society; medical history, driving behaviour, bad habits, unsafe home location and extreme sports will probably be responsible for your higher insurance rate (all aspect) and you may not be able to maintain your payments on your insurance policy if you are only earning enough to support your basic needs.

Therefore, you must be knowledgeable and aware of the possibilities of discounts that are available to reduce your monthly premium rate and don’t give you a burden when paying your insurance premium.

Here are some important factors you should look at:

1. Understanding the options available

Insurance services have different types of policy coverage available that we can choose depending on our needs. For instance; term life insurance and whole life insurance. Each policy has different coverage and monthly premium rate. On hand, term life insurance is much cheaper compare to whole life insurance and it is the most preferred by many individuals as it does not cost them a lot. However, term life insurance can only be available within a period of time usually 30-40 years depends on how long you want to keep the policy active.

The whole life insurance on the other hand, is a little expensive due to the benefits it has to offer.  Whole life insurance policy holder will have death benefits such us educational needs of the children by the insured, mortgage costs and provides family’s loss of income.

We need to understand which ones are applicable to us and on our budget ensure that we will be able to keep our policy in force.

2. Conduct your own research

Doing a little research about the insurance industry is not pain in the ass. Ask your relatives and people you trust about their insurance policy provider’s services, rate and if they even received discount offer on a certain policy.

You may also need to understand the advantages or disadvantages of the policy that you have in mind by researching online and you may also find interesting articles that will give you a lot of information about the insurance policy that are going to buy. For instance, auto insurance policy; there are several auto insurance policies available that you may encounter while looking for the cheapest insurance provider and these includes:

  • Full Coverage Auto Insurance
  • Medical or Personal Injury Protection
  • Liability Auto Insurance
  • Uninsured Motorist
  • Rental Reimbursement

We need to make sure to only include in the policy coverage that we need to avoid spending the money that we worked hard for on the unnecessary policy coverage. 

3. Stay healthy and keep good records

One of the most sensitive aspects of having a cheap affordable insurance policy is to be physically healthy, good medical records, driving records, not prone to any natural disaster and risks because these aspects are carefully being looked at by the insurance companies and if you are identified as a not at risk potential applicant for insurance policy, your monthly insurance premium will not be higher compare to others who have been identified as at risk.

There are also other ways to find affordable insurance provider whom you can rely on when insuring your family financially and to protect them from any unexpected loss or damages at times of emergency that may affect their life and future permanently.
