Life cover kept simple

A good life insurance policy gives you the peace of mind that comes with knowing your family will be looked after should the worst happen. Find the right cover for your needs – whether you want term life insurance, mortgage insurance or critical illness cover – with our free online comparison service. You will get cheap  quotes from a number of insurers with just one search.

Specialist policies 

  • Over 50s : Unsure about how your family would cope if you weren't around? Over 50s life cover provides a cash lump sum which could help with funeral costs, unpaid bills or other expenses.
  • Mortgage life cover: Mortgage protection has one clear objective - to help pay off an outstanding repayment mortgage in the event of death, during the policy term.
  • Whole of life : A 'guaranteed whole of life plan' is a life insurance plan that provides cover for the duration of your life, rather than for a fixed term.
  • Critical illness cover : Critical illness cover pays you a cash lump sum if you're diagnosed with anything specified in your policy, such as strokes, heart attacks and cancer.
  • Level term cover : Often referred to as life insurance or life assurance, it pays a lump sum on death of the policy holder.
  • Single / joint insurance : This pays out when the first person dies within the term of the policy. Cover for both lives can also be arranged by having individual policies.

We also have a handy life insurance calculator that supplies you with a total amount that you should consider being covered for - simply enter your financial information in the relevant fields and click calculate.
