You want a partner that has an offering that feels like it’s been tailored just for you. If you’re a family of four looking for medical aid, you want to choose a scheme that has affordable multi-member plans. If you want to insure your brand-new hatchback but can’t afford a huge excess if you claim, you want a provider that offers flexible excess options. It all depends on what you’re comparing, but the basic principle is that the provider should fit in with your lifestyle, not the other way round.
No matter what you’re looking for, whether it’s car insurance, medical aid, or anything in between, you want a business that has a reliable record of offering superior support to its customers and does what it says it will. This means paying justified claims if it’s an insurance company, covering medical bills if it’s a medical scheme, or footing the bill when claiming from your vehicle warranty if your car has a mechanical or electrical failure.
It depends on what you’re comparing. We recommend switching medical aid plans or schemes at the end of the year, because then you aren’t penalised with waiting periods usually. For something like car insurance, you want a new quote every year to make sure you’re not overpaying on your premium; when you get a new ride; and when your insurance provider puts up your premium. Basically, any time you can save and stop your debit orders from eating further into your salary.
