Alpha Direct Insurance currently offers short term insurance only. First things first, what is short term insurance? With short term insurance you are covering possessions for the shorter term. Remember that with any type of insurance cover, you are covering either a specific item or a specific eventuality for a period of time.
A short term insurance policy provides cover against loss, damage, liabilities and more.

To compensate coverage of a loss you suffered on your insured items, you will pay a monthly or annual premium to an insurance company providing you with cover. Calculation of your premium is based on your Risk profile (age, gender, where you live, security measures, item insured, value of the item, claims history of the insured etc.)

High risk = high premium and low risk = reduced premium. Consideration of risk profiles is super important so as to avoid instances where low risk profiles end up subsidizing high risk profiles. You as the client deserve so much better and you most definitely need not to spend more than you should, hence Alpha Direct’s sophisticated underwriting system.
