Our basement flooded on a Sunday night. I filed the claim from my phone at 11pm and had $9,400 in my account by Wednesday. I've never had an insurer move that fast.

I'm self-employed, so health cover was always confusing. My agent compared four plans, explained the deductible in plain English, and saved me $180 a month.

After 31 years with the same carrier I switched for the service, not the price. Two years in, my wife's surgery was approved the same afternoon. That's the whole review.

Straight answers

The four things people ask us most, answered without the small print voice.

The average settled claim pays out in 3.2 days from the moment we receive your documents. Simple claims — windscreen, lost baggage, minor water damage — usually clear inside 24 hours. Complex losses needing an on-site inspection average 11 days, and your adjuster gives you that timeline in writing on day one.

Yes. Bundling any two covers takes 12% off both, and three or more takes 18%. The most common combination is home plus auto ($61/mo combined on average), and you can add life cover later without re-underwriting the policies you already hold.

For most applicants under 45 asking for up to $1M of term cover, no. We use a short health questionnaire and prescription-database check instead, which usually returns a decision the same day. Larger cover amounts, or applicants with a significant medical history, may need a paramedical exam — we book it at your home at no cost.

No. Everything on this page is an illustrative estimate based on average rate tables for your ZIP code, age and cover amount. It isn't an offer, a binder or a guarantee of acceptance — your final premium is confirmed after underwriting, and you can walk away at any point before you sign with no fee.
