5 Proven Steps to Get the Right Valuables Insurance
When discussing this cover with your insurance agency, you should look out for these things to help you pick the right cover and lower the insurance premium by taking action on some things prior.
-
Replacement value vs. market value
Some policies offer replacement value coverage, which means they will pay the cost of replacing your lost or damaged item with a new one of similar quality.
Other policies offer market value coverage, which means they will pay the current market value of the item at the time of loss.
In Kenya, any item above KES 50,000, is subject to valuation. This is guided by the insurance agency. Reach out to us to help you ease your burden.
-
Policy Excess and exclusions
What do the two terms mean? When it comes to policy excess, Imagine this as your share of the cost if something happens to your valuables. Just like with car insurance, you’ll need to pay this amount before your insurance kicks in.
Exclusions are situations where your insurance won’t cover any losses. It’s like a list of “no-go zones” for your valuables.
Be sure to understand the deductible you will need to pay in case of a claim, and any exclusions that apply to your policy.
-
Security measures
Some insurance companies may offer discounts on your premium if you take certain security measures, such as installing an alarm system or a safe.
-
Inventorying your possessions
Maintain a detailed inventory of your valuables with photos and receipts. This simplifies the claims process and ensures proper coverage.
- Valuation
- Mention change in inflation.
