A Guide To Getting The Best Insurance Policy

By Adrian Evans


It is not always easy to know how to get the Best Insurance Policy. People all over Canada are looking for ways to reduce their premiums. However it is important to be aware of the kind of cover you need to get in order to be sure that you are properly covered as well as saving money.

The problem is that some people spend more attention looking at the cost that they forget what they actually need. Therefore while they theoretically save money when the time comes to claim for something they find it is not available. For example their vehicle may be covered in the event of an accident but may not be covered for theft or arson.

However there is a difference between getting the lowest price and getting value for money. The problem is that if you go for the lowest price then you are likely to make compromises in terms of the quality of cover that you are likely to receive. Therefore you need to consider what is right for you rather than simply looking at the amount you are going to spend.

Another way that this can be complicated is when companies refer to their standard cover. What one companies may define as standard may vary from others. Therefore it is vital to read their advertising carefully in order to see exactly what you are getting for your money and whether or not is appropriate.

Some companies may offer breakdown cover as an additional extra. However you need to check what would be included in that. For example you may end up breaking down somewhere away from home. The vehicle needs to be repaired overnight and that would mean having to find accommodation which could end up being very expensive.

Another thing to think about is your particular circumstances. For example you may drive a vehicle only occasionally. Therefore it is more appropriate to have a policy where you are nominated as a second driver or to get a box fitted so that your mileage is tracked and the premiums are calculated on the amount that you drive.

A lot of people use brokers and comparison sites in order to get the best deal. However this is not necessarily the best way. Sometimes it is better to contact the insurer directly because the cost of paying commission to the broker or the comparison site may be added to the cost of the policy.

Finally if you are trying to gauge what insurance company gives the best service then be prepared to shop around so that you get both quotes from companies and also feedback from the people who have used those companies. This is especially important if you move. One policy in Toronto may not necessarily apply elsewhere. With a smart approach you will be able to find the most suitable insurance to suit your needs.
