What is Personal Accident Insurance?

While we all hope that an accident never happens to us, being prepared, just in case anything happens, can give us invaluable peace of mind. Taking out our Personal Accident cover gives you just that. If you’re injured, admitted to hospital, become disabled or pass away due to an accident, this policy will cover you. With no medical examinations required and a discount when you add your partner or spouse, this insurance will be there for you when you need it most.

If, in the month after the activation of your policy (and onwards), we do not receive your premium on the due deduction date, you will be allowed a 15-day period of grace in which to pay your premium. If we still do not receive your premium after these 15 days, you will not have cover for that month.
