Reducing your insurance premium

If you’re having trouble paying for insurance, there are ways to reduce your premium while staying insured.

Ways to reduce the cost of insurance

If you’re experiencing financial difficulties, it’s even more important to maintain some level of insurance. If something happens, it lessens the financial burden of replacement or repair and protects what you own. The best way to reduce your premiums is to chat to our insurance experts to discuss some of the following ways to save.

  • Remove optional cover add-ons
    Remove any optional add-ons you don’t need. Optional cover can be things like; excess-free glass and bathroom fixtures, AMI Roadside Rescue, or matching carpet cover.

  • Check your sum insured value is accurate
    Your sum insured is the most we’ll pay for a total loss claim if your car, home or contents were destroyed. The amount should represent the cost to replace items or rebuild your home at today’s prices. Some assets decrease in value over time, so check your policy as you may be able to lower your premium by reducing your sum insured amount.

    If you still need to lower your premium after considering the options above, you could look at reducing your cover. You may be able to lower your level of cover, and premium, while staying insured.
