Very helpful

Very helpful. Talked me through the cover I wanted.
Also the fact the cover is straight away instead of waiting a year with other companies is very good.
Thankyou for your help and reassurance.

Joyful

Today I spoke with representative Kelly who was a joy to speak too. She was light hearted and fun to talk too. She eased my mind about talking about what I had put off for a long time. She explained things in detail and made sure that I understood them. It was helpful that the policy started the same day which eased my mind right away. It was a joyful experience.

Cover Today life insurance

After researching over 50s life insurance for quite some time, I found an advertisement for Cover Today so gave them a call today. Thankfully, I found the perfect one for me! No fuss, no hidden fees, affordable with no obligation quotes so I signed up on the dotted line. Customer service agent Keith was exceptional, respectful, highly knowledgeable and without the usual pushy attitude from many insurance companies and brokers that I’ve spoken with recently. Would definitely recommend 👍

Good that there's a 30 day cooling off period

I was only starting to fill in the online form when an operative rang and proceeded to go through the application. I tried to explain that I wanted to think about it but felt a little pressured into accepting this policy. However, I shall use my 30 day cooling off period to cancel it.
