- Basic Life Cover - Pre-Existing Medical Conditions are only covered if it can be proved you were continuously free of the condition during the first five years of cover. Also during the first 5 years, suicide and intentional self-injury are not covered. And at no time does this policy cover terminal illness or death caused by a dangerous occupation or pastime, a known genetic condition or participation in criminal activity.
If you die prematurely, life insurance provides a tax-free payout1 to your dependents. This money can be used to replace income from your salary, or cover expenses such as funeral and legal costs, child-care and housekeeping. This is why it’s a good idea for both you and your partner to have life insurance.
There are two main kinds of life insurance:
- Protection policies provide a lump sum payout (decided when the policy is taken out) in the event of the insured person's death
- Investment policies aim for capital growth, the money you pay in the form of regular premiums plus the interest earned on that money is paid out in full when the policy is claimed

What happens if I leave out information when I apply?
It's very important to give us all the information we request when you apply for Life Insurance, and to answer all of our questions honestly and completely. If there’s a claim, we’ll need to check your medical records – and if it turns out you didn’t reveal something important, we may have to refuse the claim.
We work hard to give everyone great value cover – it’s at the heart of everything we do. Unfortunately, the cost of providing Life Insurance does increase as you get older. This means your premiums generally increase over time. To help, if anything does change, we’ll always give you at least 30 days’ notice so you can decide what you’d like to do. Adding another person to your policy or increasing your cover amount will also cause your premiums to go up. If you choose our Inflation Protection option, your cover amount will grow over time, protecting the value of your payout against inflation. This means your premiums also rise slightly from year to year in line with your increased benefit amount.
If I cancel my policy, will I get a refund?
When you take out Life Insurance from InsuranceLine, we give you a 30 day money back guarantee - so if you cancel your Life Insurance policy in the first 30 days from when you receive your policy documentation we’ll give you a complete refund. After that, there are no refunds.
