Your insurance review checklist

It's a good idea to review your insurance and check that your cover is up-to-date and still meets your needs. Get going with our handy checklist.

24 July 20252 min read

Reviewing your insurance is always a good idea. We've put together a handy checklist to help you see if your existing cover is up-to-date and still meets your needs. 

Are your details up to date?

It's important to keep us updated with any changes to your personal details, such as your email, phone number, and postal address. If anything's changed, let us know so we can ensure your policy still covers you.

Have your circumstances changed?

Life moves fast, and as your circumstances change, it's important to review and update your insurance. Whether you've welcomed a new pet, sold your car, renovated your home, or bought new stuff, make sure you have the right cover for your current situation.

Is your excess right?

Your excess is the portion of the insurance claim you're responsible for paying. You can lower your premium by choosing a higher excess, meaning you'll pay more at claim time but less day-to-day. Check if you can afford to increase your excess but make sure it's an amount you can easily pay if needed. 

Have you made your updates in My Tower?

It's easy to update your sum insured, excess, optional benefits, and your payment method online in My Tower. If you haven't signed up yet it's easy to register online. They key is updating your cover before you need it.

Ready to review your cover?

Taking a few minutes to review your insurance can give you peace of mind that you have the right cover in place and might even save you some money. So why wait? Start your insurance check-up today and help protect what matters most to you.
