Insurance is there for cover against loss, damage, liabilities and more. Each month you pay a premium to get the cover on all your insured items. Based on your risk profile, which includes things like age, gender, where you live, security measures, the items insured, value of the items, and your claims history, the insurance company either labels you as high risk or low risk which influences your monthly premium. The higher your risk the higher the premium is going to be.
Insurance covers a number of things: life, home, disability, house contents, home owners insurance, personal liability, personal accident and car insurance. As with any insurance policy, all the inclusions and exclusions, conditions and excesses should be carefully looked at before settling on a particular policy. There are a number of insurers in South Africa: Mutual and Federal, MiWay Finance, Dial Direct and Alexander Forbes Insurance Company, just to name a few. All of these companies are top insurers and can offer you policies to suit your needs. Some of these companies will specialise in certain types of insurance, so as always, get quotes from all the companies to see which one will offer you the best deal.
In 2011, OUTsurance was named the top South African short-term insurer at the Sunday Times Top Brands Awards.
