What type of cover do Budget Insurance provide?
With Budget, you can choose from a range of different types of life insurance – so there’s sure to be something that will suit your needs:
Level term
With a Level Term Policy, the cover amount is fixed for the length of the policy term. This means that if you pass away whilst the policy is valid, your family can claim for a set amount of money
Decreasing term
A Decreasing Term Policy means that the amount that you are covered for reduces over time. This will mean your family will be able to claim the current value of the policy. Your monthly payment will not reduce on this type of policy
Critical illness Insurance
Critical illness cover can help you with any day-to-day expenses or bills after diagnosis of a critical illness
Joint life insurance
Couples can take out joint life insurance with Budget Insurance. This cover ensures that both parties will be covered but the policy will only pay out once, after which point, the policy ends
