How to Choose the Right Insurance Company in Ghana

If one were to make the choice about a partner who will be there for them when they are at their weakest, it is obvious that such a choice will take some time. One therefore wonders why many people in Ghana do not take enough time to choose the insurance company which they buy a policy from.

Think about it, an insurance company is basically going to be your life line in the event of a huge misfortune then you want to have the best possible insurance company at that time not a company you just picked because they have the cheapest premiums.

Keeping in mind the importance of having an insurance company that will be there for you when a misfortune happens, let us now look at some of the things you should look out for when you are looking for an insurance company.

The size of an insurance company is important. By size I am talking about their assets and financial muscle. The last thing you want to happen is for your insurance company to go bankrupt while you are depending on them to meet claims that you are making or hoping to make. As much as possible, look for insurance companies that are established in the business because they are more likely to have the financial strength to meet claims.

The next thing to look out for is the range of products offered by an insurance company. It is not necessary that you buy all your insurance products from one company. It does not matter if they have only one insurance product but the options they have relating to that policy is important. For example, if you wanted to buy car insurance (which by the way is compulsory in Ghana) then you would want to be offered options of comprehensive coverage, third-party coverage, third-party and theft insurance and others. An insurance company which limits you to a few options is not likely to have the most competitive pricing.

One other important thing to consider is the record of payment of claims of the insurance company. The companies usually provide information about the percentage of claims they approve and their speed of settlement as a way of indicating that they are a reliable company. If you ask the companies for this information they will provide it to you and it will help in making your decision.

The final thing to consider is the price competitiveness of the company. This should not be your first criteria for choice. Only after you have ascertained the quality of the companies using the criteria outlined before this one should you now seek to save some money by picking the most affordable company out of the lot.
