Sainsbury’s is one of the fastest-growing life insurance providers in the UK . The company offer both general life insurance (also known as ‘Sainsbury’s Life Assurance’ or ‘Sainsbury’s Term Assurance’) and mortgage life insurance, courtesy of Legal & General.
Cover starts from as little as £5 a month and c ustomers with access to the internet can benefit from a range of online discounts.
Customers are given the choice of two main types of life insurance:
Level Term Assurance – Provides a lump sum payout in the event of the policyholder’s death during the term of the policy and offers a fixed level of cover.
Decreasing Term Assurance – Cover is generally cheaper than level term assurance and decreases over a fixed number of years and pays out a lump sum in the event of the policyholder’s death during the policy term. Decreasing Term Assurance is also designed to protect a repayment mortgage as the amount of cover decreases broadly in line with a policyholder’s outstanding repayment mortgage.
Both types of life cover come with terminal illness cover as standard on any policy with a term of two or more years, although it does not apply during the last 18 months of the policy term . Premiums remain fixed during term but cover can be adjusted whenever a customer feels it necessary.
In addition, Sainsbury’s Life Insurance comes with a price guarantee, whereby if a policyholder is quoted less on a like-for-like policy elsewhere within three months they will receive £20 worth of Sainsbury’s vouchers in return.
