In a nutshell, buying General
insurance is about managing risk.
Most frequently used as a means of managing financial
uncertainty, insurance exists to provide peace of mind should anything happen
to you, your loved ones, your investments or your business.
Why everyone needs general insurance
Glass breakage is common around the home – especially with a
summer of backyard cricket underway.
While it is tempting to think “it would never happen to me”,
ask yourself what would be the cost financially – not to mention emotionally –
should the worst happen and you lost everything through no fault of your own?
He says the first thing people should do when considering
seeking cover is to talk to their chosen provider about their lifestyle and how
it can be protected – no matter what stage of life they’re at – whether young
or young at heart, home-owner or renter, employed or looking for work.
While most insurance providers attempt to provide the most
comprehensive cover they can, it is always worth reading the small print to
ensure you are getting the best bang for your buck.
To help mitigate some of the issues faced by its
policyholders in the event of obvious disasters such as fire, flood or theft or
smaller everyday disasters such as accidental breakage, AMI policies offer a
number of unique features not offered by some of its competitors.
“We recognise that glass breakage is pretty common,
especially with summer here and backyard cricket starting up – that’s why our
policies give you the option to remove the excess for glass breakage,” says
Tippet.
Policies can also include something as simple as cover for
Christmas presents stolen while kept in the home, while legal liability under
standard contents cover with AMI means you may even be covered for accidental
damage to someone else’s property, he says.
We also offer more flexibility when it comes to car
insurance.
“Most insurers only cover rental cars if you’re left without
your own car while our policies include substitute transport costs including
any combination of rental car, taxis and public transport – there’s even the
option of additional cover for medical expenses.”
To help make the process even easier also boasts its own
smartphone and tablet app –We Assist – that as well as simplifying the claims
process and detailing the fine print, also has special offers on everything
from carwashes to WOFs.
