There’s a widespread belief that insurance is extremely expensive – but it doesn’t have to be.
Perhaps the myth comes from the fact that many celebrities have insured parts of their body for astronomical sums? For example:
- Julia Roberts’s smile is reportedly insured for $30m
- Bond star Daniel Craig has insured his entire body for $9.5m
- And footballer Cristiano Ronaldo has his legs covered for $144m!
Returning to reality, protection insurance policies can be much cheaper than people think and can offer vital financial support at what is often a very difficult time. To find out about the various types of cover available and which might suit you, speak to us for help in finding a cost-effective policy.
As with all insurance policies, conditions and exclusions will apply.
