Choosing an insurer involves more than comparing the premium.
Two policies with similar prices can have materially different:
- Cover
- Exclusions
- Limits
- Sub-limits
- Excesses
- Conditions
- Claims processes
What should be compared? #
Relevant factors can include:
- The insurer’s appetite for your occupation or industry
- Experience with the type of risk
- Scope of cover
- Important exclusions and restrictions
- Policy limits and sub-limits
- Excesses
- Defence-cost treatment
- Claims service
- Insurer financial security
- Contractual or regulatory requirements
- Premium
- Available payment options
Some insurers specialise in particular occupations or industries, while others may exclude activities that are important to your business.
