A recent report revealed that three out of four Britons choose an insurance policy based solely on cost.
Experts worry that when people only look at the price, they may ignore other important factors necessary to make appropriate insurance decisions. They may underestimate the value of their household or carry an excess they cannot afford. They may not research enough to realize where the insurance company has cut services to lower costs.
One recent study found that up to 14% of insurance claims are never filed because the filing process is poorly understood or too difficult for the customer. Customer service issues like these aren't always obvious in the heat of finding a 'great deal' on insurance.
This study found another 22% do not file claims because the large excess on their policy will eat up any benefit. Customers who haven't read the fine print may find themselves in a bind when they realize how much a claim is going to cost them.
Online sites that offer insurance price comparisons have helped many to cut their insurance costs, but too often the cut in cost comes with a cut in cover that the customer doesn't fully understand. One recent study showed two out of three of us underestimate the value of our assets. This puts us at risk of not carrying enough cover. A broker can advise a homeowner about the true value of their insured property, but as few as 4% of us are consulting brokers anymore.
You can find good information online, and with some research you may find an online insurer that offers an excellent price for your insurance needs. Just be sure to read the fine print and keep these tips in mind.
1. Make sure price comparisons are comparing the same cover. If one company offers you a price with a £100 excess, do not be surprised that someone is cheaper with £200 excess. Instead, consider which excess is appropriate for your bank account.
2. Consult offline insurers as well. You will want to understand the market before taking a website at its word that it offers the best price.
3. Work with a broker if you have considerable assets. A broker has experience and will ask you the questions you need to answer to find the right cover.
If you take the time to read the policy and ask questions, you can use online comparison sites to help you find insurance deals.
