Life Insurance Premiums

At Lifebroker we like to offer our customers choice, and with premiums we are no differentt. With most of the insurance companies that Lifebroker deals with they tend to offer both 'reviewable' and 'guaranteed' life insurance premiums. Lifebroker cannot provide financial advice, however, we can point out the differences.

Guaranteed Life Insurance Premiums

As the name suggests, guaranteed premiums never rise (unless you choose to have your policy inflation linked). Guaranteed premiums are generally higher than reviewable premiums, however they allow you to accurately budget for the cost of your cover.

Reviewable Life Insurance Premiums

Generally they are initially cheaper, however they may not be better value. Reviewable premiums are reviewed regularly, usually every five years, by the insurance company and can be reduced or increased depending upon their claims experience and other factors. From Lifebroker's experience the permiums for reviewable cover are normally increased.
