There are literally hundreds of wedding insurance companies floating about on the internet, but finding one that offers the best value for money has proven difficult for a number of brides. When choosing your insurance and level of cover you want to ensure the company you plan to use will cover your wedding fully and provide you with the exact cover you paid for. Nothing more. Nothing less.
There are a number of wedding insurance companies that exist solely to take your money and have no intention of paying up when it comes to making a claim. Their contracts are littered with tiny small print that contains escape clauses and legalise which allows them to legally scam you.
In this article I will share 5 tops tips to help you find the best wedding insurance to cover your big day, and help you avoid becoming a victim to a wedding insurance scam.
1. Choose a company with a trusted name and a long standing trusting reputation. Many large insurance companies provide various types of insurance including wedding insurance.
2. Read plenty of reviews about the company. Look for both positive and negative reviews. Try to find reviews from people who have had to make a claim. A company that has numerous complaints against them for not paying out to their customers is a company worth avoiding regardless off how big or small its reputation is.
3. Ensure the website has correct address and contact information. Verify the information by telephoning the company and checking their address on a business database and Google maps (including street view).
4. Call the company and speak with them. Ask questions about their policies, prices, discounts, small print, hidden fees, escape clauses etc. Ask them anything you want. They are the company, you are the customer. You may want to ask them to walk you through the protocol should you ever need to make a claim with their company.
5. Lastly, compare companies. Don't settle with the first one you see. Write down a list of 5-10 and compare their prices and customer reviews. There are various wedding communities online that can help you make the right choice.
Remember, if something looks to good to be true it usually is. Never put your credit card information on any website until you've researched the company fully. The last thing you want is hidden payments coming from your account because you failed to read the small print.
Finding the best wedding insurance company can take a little time, but the effort is worth it. It's important not to rush into your decision.
