How many of you spend the time to trawl through the terms of your insurance policy, checking what’s covered and what’s not? Have you ever considered the small difference that could play with your premium price?
When insurance policy documents are full of baffling jargon and can stretch to the size of a novel, it’s no wonder some people don’t bother reading the small print.
Insurance policies are ‘too long and complicated’ and use ‘incomprehensible jargon’ – that’s what people told us in our recent survey. Around half (49%) said they think insurance policies are ‘fairly’, or ‘very’ difficult to understand. Many people admitted they only bother to skim read the terms and conditions, including 40% of those with car insurance and 39% of those with home insurance.
But, discovering exclusions often comes at the worst possible moment – when you attempt to make a claim.
