Saving on your life insurance

A new report has revealed a range of ways of keeping down the cost of life insurance . As consumers look for financial savings during these tough economic times, it makes sense to get the best deal possible.

One key piece of advice is to use the Internet, as the online option is often cheaper than the old-fashioned route. You have the benefit of comparison websites for comparing different policies. It is also worth exploring term insurance, as it is the cheapest form of insurance, with the monthly payments depending on the size and length of your mortgage, as well as your age and vices. If you go with an independent financial adviser instead, then cover is usually more expensive.

Another recommended way of keeping costs down is to shop around and switch your insurer as often as required, as paying the same premiums every year doesn’t make financial sense in a competitive market. Insurance providers want your business.

Also be wary of taking out life insurance at the same time as getting a mortgage. Although life insurance is vital, especially if you have a family, it should be researched separately and the policy should be suitable to you and your family’s particular circumstances.

Another way to keep down your premiums is to stop smoking, if you haven’t already, as the charges for term insurance for those who have given up smoking for a year falls significantly. And, if you have given up since taking out your term insurance, it is definitely worth looking for a better deal.
