Bendigo Bank Insurance Review

I have seen Bendigo Bank almost every day. In this review we will be looking at their insurance products. With over 150 years of experience, I am sure that Bendigo will be able to offer all the things required to keep you safe. As I can see, most of the insurance types they offer are pretty much common and standard.

The first, being home and contents insurance. There are three levels to choose from; Gold, Silver and Bronze, and it also seems that they are for both home and contents insurance. One very good thing to see is that you will be able to have your home, garage, domestic outbuildings and contents covered. I thought it was also good to see that the damages can be caused by things like fire, storm, flood water, as well as malicious acts and most importantly, accidental damage, depending on the cover you take out. If you are a landlord, you should take note that you can also get landlord insurance.

Regarding motors, Bendigo Bank offers car, motorcycle and caravan insurance. However one thing to remember is that the cover is provided by CGU. There are three plans that you can take out; Comprehensive, Third party property damage only, and Fire, theft and third party property damage. An interesting thing to point out is that for the Comprehensive cover, you can choose from named only driver and low kilometre, no claim bonus protection, plus other options that can significantly make your policy more suitable for you.

Travel insurance covers you for both domestic travel and international. It was good to see that different levels can be chosen to fit your budget. Benefits include having a 24 hour emergency hotline, which I think is very important, as well as coverage for travel delays, cancellations, rescheduled, as well as lost or damaged luggage and documents. Again, this product is offered by CGU Insurance.

The final product is private health insurance. I realised that it is offered through Australian Unity, one of the most known health insurer in the country. The advantage of being a Bendigo Bank manager is that you will be able to enjoy a 4% discount when you take out a health cover. But best of all you can claim right away on many important extras. The most popular products that I saw include Smart Start, LifeChoice and Smart Combination.

To see all the policies available and to read the PDS, consider going to Bendigo Bank’s website.

Travel Insuranz Review

Travel Insuranz claims to be able to offer quality travel insurance at low price. The highlight of their service seems to come from the fact that they offer budget plans made especially for students to help them save money. Getting a quote is done purely online and provided by Lloyd’s of London.

In order to get a policy, you would first need to go through the online form on their homepage. I did a test go and found out that, after entering my trip type, the destination, the dates and the people insured, I was surprisingly able to get a very affordable quote. The quote was much cheaper than what other insurers were offering. And to make it even better, if your purchase your premiums online you will be able to save 20%. One way that Travel Insuranz really proves they are one fo the top insurers is that they even offer a 14-days money back guarantee if you are not satisfied.

According to their page that listed all the coverage, for some reason it only showed the coverage for their holiday insurance. There are three plans to choose from, known as Classic, Premier and Deluxe. The most comprehensive is Deluxe. Just by going through their features, I was surprised with their high level of claims. Even though there were no unlimited claim limits, even for overseas medical expenses, the claim limit was $10,000,000 for it which I think is beyond enough.

Looking at the other features, I learned that you can get up to $7,500,000 for personal liability, $30,000 for accidental death, $5,0000 for private home nursing and $10,000 for search and rescue expense. These were all great features and really captivated me because some of these limits were even higher than those companies that offered unlimited coverage.

Next, I had a look at their claim service. You can easily down a claim form from their website and then post it back to them. Make sure you include your name, address, telephone number, policy number and a description of the claim. I through the entire process was pretty easy and straightforward and wouldn’t be a big deal for people.

Travel Insuranz, has seen through this review, is a quality insurer that has the ability to offer cheap quotes for anyone head away. Make sure you remember them the next time you are traveling. Feel free to go to their website for more information.

Teachers Insurance Insurance Review

While browsing through a list of insurers, one that came as a surprise to me was Teachers Insurance Service. Basically, they were created to only insure teachers and their families. I had their About Us page and read that their goal is to bring quality life risk solutions to their customers as well as using technology to make insurance simple. Did you know that more than 12,000 teachers take out a policy each year?

I think the most common insurance would be life and health events insurance. You will be covered for life insurance health events insurance. However the first thing to note is that this product is offered by Macquarie, known as Macquarie Life Active. Additional covers can also be chosen which I found to be very useful. They are death over, child cover and income cover. Not a lot of life insurers offer these options, so seeing them here is something to remember.

Get comprehensive car insurance that will be able to keep you moving. There is only one level of cover to choose from, and this a comprehensive cover. This means anyone that takes out a over will automatically be given the highest cover. Some of the things included in the cover that I thought can be seen as a very big advantage are towing, car hire cost, theft, as well as damages for more accidents and malicious. On a side note, CTP insurance is also offered for those that are looking for this cover.

Getting home and contents insurance can be easy with Teachers Insurance. You are able to be protected against things from events like fire, storm and flood. To make it even better, you can also make claims for theft and malicious damages, liabilities, as well as impacts of vehicles, trees and aircrafts. Beside the mentioned, people that are renting out their property can also take out landlord insurance.

The last product in this review is their travel insurance.I was literally taken away with the number of plans they have; comprehensive, Australia only, budget, frequent traveller and cancellation only. They can be taken out as a single, duo or family plan. In terms of their comprehensive cover, I was gladly surprised that you are able to claim up to $20,800 for loss of income, $4,000 for travel delays, and even $500 for domestic pets.

To conclude, if you are a teacher, you would be glad to know that Teachers Insurance is one of the options that is made exclusively for you.

BOQ Insurance Review

Some people find it worthwhile to be insured by companies that have over 100 years of experience. In the case of BOQ, they are over 138 years old and have branches in every state, meaning anyone would be able to purchase their products. Right now, according to their website, they have more than five products in their insurance portfolio.

The product that interested me the most is their home and contents insurance that comes with two options. The most comprehensive plan is known as Vero Home Elite and contains all the essential features like flood dover, accidental breakage of glass, and even vet costs if they are injured in a road accident. The only different between this plan and the other plan is that it also insures accidental loss and damages done to your content, as well as being automatically covered for your valuable items anywhere in Australia or New Zealand. And for people that gets an income from their property, there is also landlord insurance to consider.

For people that likes to drive, it seems that BOQ only offers one type of car insurance. This means there are no choice of plans that you can choose from. The advantage of this as I can see is that you will be covered with the highest cover they have on offer. However the things you could choose are either having your car be insured under market value or agreed value.

After looking at all the things you will be able to make a claim for, I was really impressed by their $5000 death benefits, baby capsule up to $500, and many more. One unique aspect that caught my eyes is that you are given the option to waive the excess on your first windscreen claim each year. I think this is a great way for people to save some extra money.

Another popular product that a lot of people takes out is travel insurance. It has been a while since I was last taken away by a travel policy. The highlights that I can see BOQ offers are giving you a 24 hour emergency helpline, unlimited overseas medical expenses, as well as paying you cash while you are in an overseas hospital. There are two types of policies for you to choose form, Secure Holiday and Secure Business.

The other insurance products offered by BOA include commercial insurance, line of credit protection and credit protection.

BOQ Insurance has been rated 4 out of 5 by Insurance Reviews.

Bankmecu Insurance Review

One of the greatest advantages of Bankmecu Insurance is that their company is owned by their customers. This means that all the profits that they make will go back to their customers to ensure they get better service and products. After going through their website I was convinced that you will be able to find a cover that is right for you.

In their home and contents insurance, you are included with some of the most desirable features such as new for old replacements, legal liability as well as insured events. I learned that several options can also be taken out which really made me think well of the company, they include personal effects, fusion of electric motor and accidental loss and damage. One very important thing to note though is that the policy is issued by Allianz, however you will be purchasing it through Bankmecu. If you own several houses, you may also be glad to hear that there is also landlord insurance to take out.

Bankmecu offers a range of vehicle insurance to choose from. The advantage is that you can choose to have your car, motorcycle, caravan, trailer as well as pleasure craft insured. Taking a deeper look in their car insurance, since that is one that most people would take out, I was generally impressed by their features like accidental loss and damage, choice of repairer, and legal liability. Did you know there are also additional options that you can take out such as tools of trade cover, protected no claim bonus and rental or loan car following an accident. These are all things I believe would be very useful to a lot of people.

Travel insurance is also offered by Allianz, so the plans are the same as on Allianz’s website. For a recap, they include comprehensive cover, Australia only cover, budget cover and frequently traveller cover. Of all these covers, I am especially fond of their comprehensive and budget covers. This is because the first cover offers 16 travel and medical benefits such as cancellation fees, rental vehicle and delays. On the other hand, the budget cover is great for people that are on a tight budget and wants something that is affordable that can give them a peace of mind.

Besides all the personal insurance listed above, it is also god to see that Bankmecu also offers business insurance. I learned that there are several packs that you can take out such as farm packs, office packs, trades and services packs, and many more.

Bankmecu Insurance has been rated 4 out of 5 by Insurance Reviews.

Ouch Insurance Review

Ouch Insurance is part of the crowd of online insurers that claims to be able to provide cheaper travel insurance. In this case, Ouch especially mentioned that the price will be pain-free, which I thought was a witty way to put it.

Before going any further, the first thing to note is that only international journeys are able to be insured. I came to this conclusion after arriving to their Policy Insurance page and was only showed a list of international plans. However despite this drawback, the plans are actually pretty decent.

My favourite product in their portfolio is their Premier Plus Extras Travel Plan. You can take out this plan if you are going to USA, Canada and Antarctica. One very intriguing to know too is that Qantas Frequent Flyer points are also available in this plan. One policy can be taken out as either Single or Family. I was glad to see all the essentials are included such as unlimited claims on cancellation, emergency travel arrangements, medical/dental expenses and evacuations. However the one thing that stands out from the other plans is that you also get covered for funeral expenses within Australia as well as claims for total permanent disability.

The next plan after this is known as A Travel Plan, covering Continental Europe, South and Central America, Middle East, Africa and Japan. Things are pretty similar to the Premier Plus plan, except there are no coverage for funeral and TPD. The amounts you can claim for the other things are also identical too, and if there are any differences in claim amounts, they are just a few thousand/hundred dollars, depending what the benefits are.

The B Travel Plan is the minimum cover for UK, Asia and Tahiti. One difference in this product is that hospital compensation is a few thousand dollars less than the mentioned plans, as well as travel delays and accidental death. However don’t let the lower claim put you down, because considering the amount you can still claim, they would be perfect for anyone heading to UK, Asia or Tahiti.

Finally, C Travel Plan was designed for people heading to the Pacific Region and Indonesia, basically countries close to home.. Even though it is the lowest cover, the benefit levels are still quite high. To prove this point, the amount you can claim for accidental death is $20,000 for Family and $10,000 for Singles.

Regardless where you are going, as long as you are heading outside of Australia, there is no doubt that you will be able to get the coverage you need under the right price.

Ouch Insurance has been rated 4.5 out of 5 by Insurance Reviews.

People’s Choice Credit Union Insurance Review

What a colourful website People’s Choice Credit Union has! I moved onto their insurance information page and was again hit with many colourful designs. But besides that point, I was generally happy with all the covers offered by them as they are all products we can all relate to.

Home and Contents Insurance is something we all need, and I am happy to see that this is offered. Through experience, the features that I know are going to be very helpful included are flood cover (which is automatically covered, I should add), natural disasters, theft, glass breakage, and even lets you protect the contents of your visitors up to the value of $5,000.

And for people that don’t mind paying a bit more so that they can get the peace of mind they need, there are also optional additional covers that you can take out. They include accidental loss/damage, and increase coverage limits on valuables.

In my opinion, the best part has got to be the fact that you will be entitled for a discount if you are over the age of 50. I think this is a great way to encourage the older folks to purchase a policy.

Next, I was stunned that three different vehicles can be insured under their vehicle insurance category. They include cars, caravans and boats. Regarding the car insurance, I was impressed to see that you are covered for one free windscreen per year on all comprehensive policies, car hire, locks and keys, as well as coverage for baby capsules and trailer. The reason why I think these features are so good is because in a lot of other insurers, these features need to be taken out as extras, which can end up being quite expensive.

The thing I’ve learnt is that your persona life will also be secured as well with travel, mortgage repayment, life and health insurance. I think the most common one would be travel insurance and was impressed to see that if you are already a member of People’s Choice, you will automatically be entitled for a 20% discount on your policy. And believe me, this is a lot. In regards to the things you are covered for, they include all the normal stuff, including things I was surprised to see like camera and video equipment, and also missed connections.

Furthermore, if you have a business, you may also find the business insurance plans offered useful. You can find out more on their website.

My Cover Insurance Review - Travel

My Cover is a quick and very recommendable travel insurance that lets customers obtain quotes and policies online. I was impressed by the way they listed all their different coverage directly on their website with plenty of explanations beside them. I thought it was very informative that they are able to provide such details straight out.

Individual pages were also available that showed further information. In my opinion, the protection offered by My Cover is great for anyone going overseas, travelling within Australia, as well as people that are wishing to get affordable policies.

The plan with the highest protection and the one I would definitely take out is the comprehensive international plan. As I can see, the cover starts at the time you leave your home, and the time you return your home, which is pretty much reasonable. In terms of the actual cover, it can be bought by Single, Duo and Family, which is good because this includes everyone. I was very pleased with the amount of cover because all of them were pretty high. For example, those that caught my eyes are up to $100,000 for additional expenses, $20,800 for loss of income, and $10,000 for alternative transport expenses. Seeing all these great features, I honestly think your time overseas will be guaranteed to be secured.

If you are deciding to stay in Australia and spend your time away at home, the plan for you is known as Australia Only. It contains a lot less benefits than the comprehensive plan; however it does include unlimited cancellation fees and lost deposits. Again, it can be bought in Single, Duo and Family. In my opinion, the limits for the other features are also pretty high as well, including up to $50,000 for accidental death and $5,000,000 for personal liability.

Now for the very interesting plan, I was intrigued by the name Budget Cover. Having a closer look, I learned that contain three features; three important and essential features, I should add, that should always be included. If you are someone that wants to save on travel insurance and only get the things you need, this plan would definitely be able to save you money. The coverage includes overseas emergency medical assistance, hospital expenses and personal liability.

To finish, the other plan you would likely expect is Frequent Traveller plan. As you may have guessed, the benefits are very similar to a single comprehensive. The main advantage of this plan is that you are able to take unlimited journeys a year as long as each trip is less than 37 days for leisure travels, and 90 days for business travels.

Defence Bank Insurance Review

Defence Bank Insurance is owned by the bank that started operation in March 1975. They have a list of great products like loans, credit cards, and even investment services, one of them insurance. I was able to access their lists from the top of their website, which I thought was very easy to do.

For all the drivers out there, I am certain that you will be able to benefit from the car insurance offered by Defence Bank. The names of their plans in their product portfolio are pretty much normal by offering things from comprehensive cover all the way to third party fire and theft, and third party property damage.

What really caught my eyes is that several options can be taken out such as Motor Vehicle Insurance Policy, Nominated Driver Motor Vehicle Insurance, and Nominated Driver Low Kilometre Motor Vehicle Insurance.

If cars are not your thing, or perhaps you also drive a motorcycle, motorcycle insurance is something that can offer you much peace of mind as well. The names of the plans are the same as in the car insurance, which I assume that the protection will be similar as well, except it will be for motorcycles, not cars.

Putting aside cars, the next most important thing for many people are their homes, and which is why I was so impressed by the things offered in the home and building insurance. In order to protect your property and building I was glad to see that a list of events are shown where you will be able to make a claim such as flood cover, theft, vandalism, and more. Accidental damages can also be claimed. In regards to contents insurance, the types of protection also come in listed events and accidental damage.

Moving up next is travel insurance. Unlike other brands, Defence Bank only offers comprehensive travel insurance which means you only have one choice to choose from. The key features that I found to be very useful and is glad that are included include things like luggage and travel document cover, overseas medical, hospital expenses, as well as cancellations and delays. I think all of these things are very important to as they offer protection to some of the most stressful things when events turn sour.

Besides all the mentioned policies, the last one that I felt needs a lot of emphasise is loan repayment insurance. Reading through the information page, I found out that it is a great way to make sure your loans can be repaid even if you have died. I think this will no doubt give relief to your loved ones.

Chartis Insurance Review - Car, Health, Travel

At first when I decided to review Chartis Insurance, I did a search for them on Google however was then directed to AIG Insurance’s website, which I guess is their new website, or at least the parent company. So in this review we will be looking at AIG.

The first thing that I figured out is that AIG is mainly a business insurance firm. The reason why I am saying this is because the list of business insurance products listed on their website includes more than 10 different options, including aviation, energy, property, accident and health insurance.

But because most of the viewers of this blog are most likely to be individuals, I will focus my review on that.

I found out that a variety of covers is offered under their accident and health insurance plans. They include things for accidents, and disablements, as well as plans solely for insuring against cancer. Another interesting plan is known as Recovery Cash, and is basically similar to income protection plan. The thing I really like about it is that it can pay you up to $250 a day, up to 90 days, which should more than enough for the policyholder to keep on moving on with their lives while they recover from whatever injury they are experiencing.

Of all the plans, I think the most interesting one is the security plus seniors. As implied, this cover is made for seniors, which is one of the age groups that would most benefit from health care. There are three levels to choose from; Silver, Gold and Premium, however the thing I like about them is that you are guaranteed to be accepted, be able to get a lump sum of cash when you make a claim, as well as a short 14-day cooling off period.

You are also able to protect your health when overseas by getting travel insurance. The selections in AIG’s product portfolio are pretty much common to other insurers with plans like annual multi trip, international single trip, domestic travel, and mature age +70. With just a glace I am sure you will be able to get a policy no matter where you go.

If you think Chartis Insurance or AIG Insurance is something you would want more information on, feel free to visit their website and check out their plans. Regardless if you are after personal or business products, you can be sure to be able to find something that matches you needs.

Zurich Insurance Review

Zurich Insurance is a multinational company that I have come across in several countries. Their services reach from products for individuals, all the way to businesses. What seemed very interesting to me though is that Zurich seems to have a lot of emphasise on getting an insurance broker and even provide links to where you can choose a good one which I thought was very useful.

Getting into business, Zurich offers four types of insurance products in their portfolio for individuals.

The NSW CTP Green Slips is no doubt something we would all be familiar with. This is only available for drivers in New South Wales and was created to help protect third parties from injuries. As shown on their website, the advantages of choosing Zurich to get your CTP policy include competitive price, automatically includes At-Fault Driver, and many more.

Moving on, I was very surprised to see the wide variety of different life insurance products offered. This seemed to be one of their main products. I was astonished to see that there are policies for almost every life stages, and all the types of cover you need.

For example I was particularly attracted to their death cover. This is a comprehensive cover that can be used to pay debts and even funeral if you suddenly die. The best feature of this though is being able to get a lump sum benefit. Another plan that I was very interested about was Accident Income and Income Protection. They are both similar and can be used to pay you up to 75% of your monthly income if you are unable to work. I thought the percentage was very high and would definitely be able to help those people in need.

Other life insurance products I was pleased to see offered by Zurich are accidental death, TPD, business expenses and child trauma.

One insurance product growing in popularity is credit card/debit card insurance. The great thing is that a list of card providers are accepted to be insured, including Commonwealth Bank, St George, HSBC and Bankwest among many others. The benefits that you may be able to receive that I thought was overwhelming includes thing like funeral expenses, loss of income, legal liability and more.

For those thinking of moving house, you are going to find the home removals insurance very worthwhile. I really liked the fact that it is suitable for families and individuals moving within in Australia, as well as several selected destinations overseas. Their plans come in Gold, Silver and Platinum.

Ski Insurance Review - Travel

As we reach into winter, no doubt the group of people that fancies the snow would head up into the icy areas to do some skiing. On company known as Ski Insurance is an insurer that I found to be able to offer complete insurance for people heading to the slopes. Judging by their website, they are owned by 1Cover and issued by Allianz. If you know your acts, you would know that these two companies are two of the most well known in Australia.

Also, at the bottom of their website was a logo that showed their website has been tested daily to ensure it is hacker-free. I thought this was a great way to give customers a peace of mind that they are buying from a trusted source.

Through my eyes it seems to me that all their covers automatically includes ski related coverage such as features for snow ski equipment hire, ski pack, piste closure, and bad weather closure.

There are four plans to choose from; Annual, International, Domestic and Professional, however for some reasons the page that lists the cover summary only showed Single Trip And Annual Multi-Trip, and Australia Only Trip.

Anyhow, I was still particularly impressed by the things you will be able to get out of the Single Trip And Annual Multi Trip plan. The most important thing is that a policy can be taken out by Single, Duo and Family Cover, which means everyone. I was also pretty happy with the excess because all the features that had excess were only up to $100. Single and Duo almost have the same claim limits, and Family’s limits are almost twice as much as everything the first two covers offered.

Furthermore, I was very impressed to see that unlimited covers are included for overseas hospital, emergency, cancellation fees and emergency rescue. The claim limits on the other hand, are also very impressive. You can get up to $100,000 for additional expenses, $10,000 for luggage/personal effects, and up to $500 for domestic pets.

In the next plan made for domestic travels, again a cover can be bought by Single, Duo and Family. The disadvantage is that there are several things not included in this policy such as travel documents, credit cards, alternative transport expense and domestic pets. However, the advantages is that for the things that are included, several of them have unlimited coverage like cancellation fees and emergency rescue. It is actually pretty uncommon for domestic plans to have unlimited features, so seeing the opposite here is actually something to be glad about.

On Tour Insurance Review - Travel

On Tour is actually the name of the travel insurance products offered by AIG Insurance. I found this out when I clicked on the link to see more about the insurer and was then directed to the AIG website. Besides this fact, it is also written that they are distributed by eIBE.

On Tour’s product portfolio contains three different policies, intended for people traveling within Australia, internationally, as well as for those over the age of 70.

The plan that stood out to me the most is the international plan. But first of all, I should be clear that this plan is also known as the Frequent Travellers Aged Under 70 Years. So as the name implies, it is only available for people under the age of 70.

Policies can be bought out as single cover, family cover, or an annual multi trip plan. The benefits include unlimited cancellation fees, overseas medical and emergency expenses, which are pretty common. However some of the things that I found to be very unique were Home help, Financial default and Travel agent fees. These are things I have not seen before and thought would surely be very handy if something bad was to occur.

In regards to the domestic plan, again it is only for travellers below the age of 70. Single and Family cover can be taken out. The downside to this plan compared to the first plan is that it does not have any unlimited features, but considering that this policy was made for domestic trips, you wouldn’t really need any unlimited features anyway. Some of the features that I were very impressed though were luggage protection with a limit of up to $6,000, special events protection of up to $4,000, and many more.

And lastly, the third plan is the one made for traveller over 70 year old. To why this is the case remains a mystery to me, but in my opinion it probably has something to do with the higher risks matured travellers can attract, and therefore by separating the plans, policies would be able to be cheaper.

I thought it was very beneficial that this plan covers international travel, and contains things very similar to a single international plan. Examples of benefits are legal liability, rental vehicle excess and travel delays.

So no matter if you are going to Canada, Czech Republic, Finland, Malaysia, Korea, Italy or even the United States, On Tour is a company that you can surely rely on.

On Tour Insurance has been rated 4 out of 5 by Insurance Reviews.

Chi Insurance Review - Travel

Chi offers travel insurance underwritten by Allianz, one of the most well-known companies in Australia, not mentioning the most trusted as well. However the one thing that really caught my eyes is that it is stated on Chi’s website that they are one of the oldest travel insurers in Australia. Whether or not this is true, I don’t know, however if it is true, it would imply they would have many years of experience in the industry and would therefore be able to issue quality policies. On the side note, I do see that they have a list of attractive plans that travellers will be able to choose from.

One way to prove that Chi really cares about their customers is that they have a list of updated travel news on their website that may affect people going away. They include information about airport closure, government shutdowns, as well as natural disasters like earthquakes and floods. I found this feature to be very useful and would no doubt benefit their customers in more ways than they can imagine by helping them avoid possible unfortunate events.

Plans come in two categories; Traditional and Basic. And under each of them included further plans such as comprehensive, domestic, medical & liability, frequent traveller and more. One reason why I thought this was attractive is that there would be a high chance you will find a cover to suit your needs, and also because there are so many choices, you can also be guaranteed to be able to find a policy that is affordable.

For example, I discovered that getting a Medical & Liability policy would be a great way to get an affordable policy and only be insured against the things more important to you; your health and liability.

Regardless which plan you choose, the summary of benefits are all pretty similar. This was evident inside their brochure PDF that I downloaded from their website. Some of the features that I found to be very worthwhile are travel services provider insolvency, additional expenses, loss of income, luggage and personal effects, delays, and many more.

In terms of pre-existing conditions, I was happy to see that Chi have provided a list of pre-existing medical conditions that may be covered. The list includes eczema, hay fever, rosacea, gastic reflux and many more. It is not every day you will be able to find an insurer that offers such an extensive list.

RACV Insurance Review

RACV is one of the insurance companies in Australia. Looking at their product portfolio, I am pleased at how they have designed their insurance packages to suit their clients’ needs and budgets. On top of their best customer service are plenty of discounts, and premium payment can be made on a monthly basis.

Car and motorcycle insurance are one of our must get insurance product as we are in our vehicles more than half of our times. You may like to get coverage from basic third party property insurance to a complete care comprehensive insurance. But the best option I suggest is to get the complete care insurance as it is a total protection package which includes, but limited to, car hire when accident or theft incident happens. And RACV makes sure your pets inside your car will also be taken care of. Another good product is the third party, fire and theft car insurance. It provides market value coverage of your precious vehicle. Your old cars as old as 1919 models can also be insured through veteran, vintage, and classic vehicles which I thought was very great.

As we invest our money and memories in our home, RACV provides home insurance products that will take care of our beloved homes and anything in it. RACV makes sure that both our home and the contents inside can be insured though their combined home buildings and contents insurance, which I honestly think is worth the premium payment. Did you know that landlords can also get landlord insurance? This insurance covers rent default and continuous rental income should the house ever be livable due to damage. Renters can also protect their belongings by getting the renter’s insurance.

Travelling can be so stressful however RACV has the right travel insurance product to fit our every travel. Whether you travel locally and oversees, RACV has domestic and international insurance you can get. If you are a frequent traveler, SACV also has this annual multi trip insurance for you.

Farmers and their properties can also be insured at RACV through farmers insurance. This insurance caters the specific needs of farms. The farmer can insure his farm, machinery and house and contents within the farms premises which I believe can give a complete peace of mind.

Caravan or trailer insurance and boat insurance are also available. These precious possessions need to be covered as well from natural calamities, theft and other deemed disasters.

RACQ Insurance Review

RACQ is Queensland’s best insurance provider as per my research. I was interested with the insurance products they offer and learned that this company makes insurance payments flexible as you can pay in monthly mode.

In any of their insurance products, they cover for events like flood, fire, storms, cyclones and other catastrophic incidents. Once an RACQ member, you are privileged to different discounts and freebies. Most importantly, you get assistance 24 hours a day, 7 days a week through their call center agents.

RACQ protects our cars through their wide range of car and motorcycle insurance products. Their comprehensive insurance is most recommended as it covers you and third party damages at the highest coverage and gives up to 15% discount on premiums paid. The third party insurance and compulsory third party insurance (CTP) are available as well for third party insurance coverage.

You have an option to include on the coverage fire and theft incident through their fire, theft and third party insurance and I salute this feature. But what I liked most is the classic, vintage and veteran vehicle insurance. This makes sure my old cars also get protection.

Another good product of RACQ is the unique vehicle insurance. This is recommended for car savvy vehicle owners who spent much on re-modeling their cars for beauty. In any choice you make, RACQ makes sure you get the highest customer service they can offer.

Protecting our home should be one of our priorities and RACQ has a wide range of home and contents insurance to offer to us. If the protection you need is concerning your home only, you can get the home insurance product. However, I strongly recommend you to get the combined home and content insurance. And even if you are just renting, you can still get the renters insurance to protect your belongings. By the way, I also noticed that RACQ can give insurance protection to our pets through pet insurance. This insurance can be bundled with home insurance.

RACQ also covers caravan and trailers through their caravan insurance. Owners of caravans, camper trailers, horse floats or box trailers should think of getting this insurance coverage for protection. In any way, these vehicles cost is very high and losing them through accident or catastrophe is just not worth it.

Boat insurance is also available at RACQ. RACQ understands that protection to boats is very important especially when it is on water, either for pleasure trip of owner or business dealings.

Body corporate insurance from RACQ covers damages from buildings, common contents and legal liability insurance. I recommend businesses to have this coverage.

RACQ also has products to protect us while we travel through their travel insurance products. There are choices from affordable essential international insurance through an expensive but fully loaded coverage from premium international insurance. If you travel frequently and have already scheduled your 12 months trip, RACQ can offer you coverage through the annual multi trip insurance which is cheaper.

For local travelers, RACQ has domestic comprehensive insurance. What makes RACQ unique was that they also have domestic cancellation and it saves a lot of money getting this coverage.

If you become an RACQ member, you can avail many discounts and assistance like airport parking, accommodation, driving oversees and many more. I really recommend you check this company for any insurance needs you may have.

NIB Insurance Review

I am certain that many people would have already heard of NIB Insurance. I have seen their commercials about the importance of having your health insured, and just lately, I realised they also have apps that you can download onto your smartphone. This gave me the impression that NIB is genuinely here for you, and seeing the fact they have kept up with technology means they are still as powerful as ever.

In their health insurance, hospital and extras can be taken. The biggest advantage with getting a policy is that you can stay in a private room and get the peace of quite you need, have the ability to choose the specialist that treats you and decide when you will be treated. Plans fall under three life stage; Singles, Couples and Family that are all priced accordance to what each life stage would likely need.

Seeing that most of the readers of this blog would be single, I was glad to see that the basic hospital cover with bundles extras only starts at $16.86 a week. As being single, I honestly believe this is a great price that many potential customers will be able to purchase.

Life insurance is also something else that you can be sure to get the best quality policy of. Similar to health insurance, life insurance enables to get paid when you are critical sick, disabled or even if you pass away. Plans include funeral insurance, life insurance and bill relief.

The thing that really caught my eyes involve around the fact that up to $15,000 can be claimed in the funeral cover insurance. Most importantly, it is written on their website that claims are usually paid out with 24 hours of processing a claim, which I thought would be very helpful. Other advantages include the cost of just $2.31 a week, no tests to do and a 30 day money back option.

For their life insurance, up to $1,000,000 can be covered. I was impressed that it was a worldwide cover feature meaning you won’t have to worry that you won’t get paid if you died in another country.

Now for those people that are thinking of going away, NIB also offers travel insurance. Covers that I thought could deemed be very useful are travel delay, lost passwords, overseas medical, as well as liability cover and many more. One reason why I thought being with NIB is such a great idea is that if you are an existing customer, you will be able to get 10% discount.

Latrobe Health Services Insurance Review - Health, Travel

Latrobe Health Services gives you the freedom of choice. That was the fact I came across as soon as I landed onto their website. Quickly, I was transfixed to their idea that they are a not-for-profit health insurer, and furthermore, seeing that they were founded way back in 1951 is something to take into account. This could only mean they are doing something right to explain their long history.

Unlike other companies, the unique aspect about Latrobe Health Services is that they have an option to join without the need for paper. This means you won’t have to worry about filling in forms. The advantage of this means you will be able to get a cover easily without the need to worry about the placement of your documents.

Similar to most health funds, the products offered are pretty much expected. The only different though is that they are categorised by life stages.

The life stage with the most protection is Family. There are options that you can either take out hospital or extras. Looking through what was offered, I was amazed with the features inside the Family Top Hospital plan. Coverage in this plan includes day procedures, rehab, major surgery, private/shared room and many more. In my opinion these are all great features that would surely come as helpful. For more things, you can also get Extras.

The next life stage under Family is Couples. Again, I thought the highest plan was the most attractive. The things included are pretty similar to the Top Hospital Plan in the Family plan, except the price may be different. The important things that couples may be interested in are things like assisted reproductive service which is great for couples looking to have children. There are also some very useful things like 365 accommodating cover.

The third life stage is fitted under Singles. For those that are unsure, this plan is made for one person. This person can be living alone or with someone else, such as their parents.

On another note, I also saw the offering of travel insurance. I thought it was great that a health insurer would be offering such product since in most cases our health can have the most impact when we are away from home. I was glad to see that international, domestic and annual multi trips can be covered. Also, it seems the policies will be offered by QBE, a company they have partnered with.

Zuji Insurance Review

Zuji Insurance is operated by a travel firm that we have all come to know. They have traditionally been able to provide flights, hotels, holidays, car hire and now insurance as well. As I can see, it is designed for travellers heading to anywhere in the world.

Four different covers exist under four different plans. Some of them are very traditional while the rest are very innovative.

Now, the first plan is split between Comprehensive and Australia Only insurance. The comprehensive is made for international trips, and includes all the things that are offered in the domestic cover. To start off, I was glad to see that several important features offer unlimited claims like cancelation fees, medical emergency and lost deposits. Regarding the other features, I was also impressed by their high limited rates, like $50,000 of additional expenses, $5,000 for travel documents, credit cards and traveller cheques, $250 for theft of cash and many more.

Moving down the list, I found that, literally speaking, all the journeys you take in a year will be able to be insured with the Frequent Traveller plan. The period limit for each trip is 37 days for leisure and 90 days for business travels, which I think is a very reasonable amount. Looking at the features included, they are very close to the things included in the comprehensive cover like unlimited cancellation fees, lost deposits and overseas emergency costs.

Now let us move onto the more special plans that are not commonly seen.

Medical Protection is to only cover you against injuries and illness if you are going overseas. The benefits that you will get are overseas medical assistance and expense, accidental death and personal liability. The downside is that it does not offer protection for things like lost luggage and delays. The upside though is that you will get a cheaper premium only having the most important thing, your health, insured. I think this is one of the best budget policies out there.

And to finish, there is also another plan called Cancellation Only, and that is what it covers. This is the cheapest of the cheap and only covers for cancellation. The advantage with this plan however is that it can be used for both international and domestic trip, and not to mention the minimum amount you will need to pay for the cover.

To see how much you can save and the amount of protection you can get, feel free to visit Zuji’s website now.

GE Money Insurance Review

GE Money Insurance offers insurance solutions as part of their day to day finance services along with credit cards and loans. They have expertise in Australia and New Zealand, serving more than 3.1 million customers. They can be found through several branches, partners, brokers and even the internet.

Judging by their website, there are currently about four products to choose from. They range from everyday products to more credit related ones.

There is no saying that car insurance is something we all want to take out, and with GE Money you are given three different covers to choose from. Through my eyes, the names of the three covers are very similar to most other car insurers; Comprehensive, Third party property, fire and theft, and Third party property only. I think for drivers that want to lower their road risks as much as possible, the comprehensive cover is the one to choose because it includes everything that a decent person would need, including benefits that are not available to the other plans.

To prove my words, some of the things that really got me overwhelmed are lifetime guarantee on repairs, new car replacement, accommodation cover and no claim discount. What I love about GE Money is that they even offer optional benefits such as windscreen excess reduction and roadside assistance to give you more coverage.

Did you know that GE Money’s travel insurance has won Canstar’s award for being the outstanding value? This definitely opened my eyes about their products. What really impressed me is the fact they offer all the comprehensive coverage for things like baggage and personal items, liability, medical expenses and more. Policies can be bought in single or multi-trip under individual and family rates.

Coming to the more credit inspired policies, the first one is personal loan insurance. The thing that I like about this plan is that you will be able to make a claim if for some reason you are unable to repay your debts. Examples of events that I found to be very useful that you can make a claim is when you lose your job that was not your fault (involuntary unemployment cover), you are sick/disabled, or if you die.

The next product is known as credit card insurance, and is used to protect you from unexpected events. The thing that I found very interesting is that a policy will protect you from your purchases if you paid for it using your card, or if you are unable to pay back the amount you owe due to unforeseen circumstances.
