Wedding car insurance is one of the pre-packaged covers that make up wedding insurance. Wedding insurance is a group of different coverage that combine to make up a single cover. The wedding care insurance section is not about vehicle coverage if there is an accident. This is strictly a coverage of the transportation not arriving to the wedding. As such, it falls into the same category as many other vendor type items under the wedding insurance policy.
The purpose of insurance of any kind is to protect the insured against loss or legal issues that may involve loss. Wedding car insurance is not different. Consumers can benefit from understanding how the wedding insurance industry works.
The first part of understanding wedding insurance is to know that it is sold by cancellation coverage amounts that begin around ₤5,000 and increase in ₤5,000 increments until they generally reach ₤70,000. This means that the first consideration a consumer would have about which wedding insurance to purchase is to figure out what the total cost of the wedding is going to be. This will allow you to compare insurance cover in the appropriate range.
Wedding Car Insurance-Understanding The Basic Insurance Policy:
In the meantime, this article will help consumers by showing them how to compare insurance covers and policies by finding the value, and by showing how to spot a policy that is over insured.
The first thing to realize about wedding insurance is that the categories of Presents, Rings, Cake, Flowers, Photo, and wedding care insurance all fall within a single description: Items that have a specific cover range. This means that the cake has a range of reimbursement up to ₤2,500. If the cake is damaged or somehow does not make it to the wedding then the insurance company will reimburse the bride and groom up to ₤2,500.
Now, the next thing to understand about wedding insurance is that if your cake only cost ₤500, then that is all that you will be reimbursed for. Because this comparison table is set at the cancellation price of ₤10,000, does it make much sense to have a cake that will cost ₤2,500? This brings us to the third thing to understand about wedding insurance. Buying too much insurance is wasting your money. So consider how the insurance policy is laid out. The most expensive policy on this table is John Lewis Insurance policy and I am going to show you why that is the best policy for the price you pay.
The wedding insurance comparison chart above is for weddings with a budget of ₤10,000. If your wedding budget is ₤10,000, how likely is that you would need transportation cover for 50% of that budget? Yet, two companies are offering this level of coverage. The problem is that while they offer high coverage in one area they offer reduced coverage in another area. It comes down to understanding what are the truly important aspects of the policy.
Wedding Car Insurance-Finding Value In An Insurance Policy
Value can be added to a policy by cover categories that are outside of your control, and that have an likelihood of being determined by an outside force such as a court of law. Rings, cake, flowers, photograph/video and transportation are all items that have a limited coverage and reimbursement area. These items are standardized and payable based on receipts, so buying more coverage then the items cost is not going to help or add value to the policy.
Items that add value to an insurance policy are Failure of Suppliers, Legal Expenses, and public/personal liability. These areas of a policy add value because the outcome of any legal issue is not decided by the insurance company, but rather a court of law. The exception here is failure of suppliers and the reason why it is important to have extra insurance in this category is that if a supplier fails to show up or perform their duty, they have your non-refundable deposit. The other part of this is that you will have to pay extra for a service that is last minute and that means extra costs for you. Having extra insurance in the failure of suppliers is beneficial because the cost of fixing the problem is going to more expensive.
In this way, these categories of insurance add value to a policy. They are not over inflated because the outcome or award following a legal suit is at this point unknown. Since insurance is designed to protect you from legal issues, having better insurance coverage for issues that are outside of your control or that have no clear limit on their coverage is a benefit to you.
The only policy listed on the price comparison table, that adds additional coverage as a value and not in an attempt to over inflate the policy is the insurance coverage offered by John Lewis Insurance. This is also the most expense policy of this review. It may be that John Lewis Insurance understand that to truly protect their clients they need to offer a quality policy with a cost that is justifiable by value.
