SHORT TERM INSURANCE

What is Short Term Insurance?

Short term insurance encompasses all types of insurance policies other than life insurance and includes vehicle, property, household, medical, personal liability, gap cover, travel and business insurance. The reason why these policies are classified as short-term insurance is that your insurance needs in this regard will change over time. Unlike life insurance, short-term insurance is taken out only for the period that you have need of it. The amount of money that you will pay to your insurer at pre-arranged intervals is called a premium. This amount will be worked out according to your individual risk profile. For example, when insuring your car, the insurance provider will generally investigate your age, gender and driving record; the value of the car; where the car is parked and whether it has anti-theft devices in place. These factors will determine what premium you should pay. The greater your risk profile, the higher your premium will be.
