Business Insurance

Category: Finance, Insurance.

The trend towards direct insurance has certainly taken off in significant fashion, and insurance companies like Dial Direct Insurance have been taking good advantage with their innovative approach to the insurance market and the insurance consumer in the street. No longer is it necessary for insurance clients to deal with third party brokers who act as go- betweens between the insurance service providers and administrators and the consumers.

The idea behind direct insurance is that costs can be cut and administrative red tape eliminated, or at least reduced, by cutting out the network of brokers when buying insurance. Direct insurance removes this middle man element and allows the two entities to communicate directly. It has a 10- year long track record and is underwritten by its holding company in the UK, allowing it to ensure customers of a solid financial foundation for their insurance policies, which is a great source of peace of mind. Dial Direct is a leader in the South African direct insurance market. Dial Direct South Africa uses advanced call centre technology and highly trained operators to allow customers to simply call in and arrange all their insurance needs, quickly and with a minimum of fuss. Alternatively, prospective clients can go to the Dial Direct web site and apply for insurance online, with the same quick turnaround times and professional, personalized service.

There aren' t even any forms to be filled in. Everything is streamlined to make acquiring insurance as simple and trouble- free as possible. Claims are also paid within a shorter time and claims processing is speeded up and the administrative overhead is lower- a further source of efficiency and cost savings. Because there are no brokers, there are no brokers' commissions and fees to be paid, and these savings are passed on to customers in the form of lower premiums, lower excesses and cash back bonuses for not having to claim on insurance cover over a given period of time. This type of direct insurance is offered across the board- in terms of short term insurance at least. Motor vehicle insurance, including leisure vehicles like caravans and water craft. There is household insurance, which includes buildings.

Business insurance. These include standard out the box product packages as well as tailored insurance solutions. And insurance for professionals and practitioners. With the ease and convenience, and above all the cost savings, that direct insurance offers, it's no wonder that it is proving so hugely popular.
