• The reputation of the insurance company

How to choose the best insurance plan
1. First, understand your requirements (future financial needs, your child’s education, marriage, or some other requirement).
2. Second, calculate how much premium you can pay every month or quarterly or half-yearly or annually.
3. See what benefits the Plan gives (each insurance company gives different benefits, so compare).
4. Decide on the tenure of the Plan.
5. See whether it is value for your hard earned money.
6. Decide the Sum Assured, the more the sum assured, the more the benefits.
7. Read the Terms and Conditions of the Plan.
8. Find out how prompt the insurance company is in settlement of claims for the plan.
What is insurance excess / deductible?
An example; If a motorist had a car insurance policy that has a policy excess of 10% and files in a claim for damage to his/her vehicle amounting to GH¢10,000, he/she would have to cover the first GH¢1,000 (ie.10% of the claim amount), with the insurer covering the remaining GH¢9,000.
It is possible to opt for zero excess or buy the excess off…however; the insurer has the prerogative in accepting or even increase it depending on the risk in question.
