Tesco offers the following types of life insurance:
Level Cover
If you pass away or suffer from a terminal illness ( where life expectancy is no more than 12 months) during the term of the cover, a lump sum will be paid to your family, a previously agreed amount chosen by you, which remains the same for the duration of your policy.
What are the benefits of getting a Level Cover ?
Cheap premiums, starting from £5 a month
Pays a cash lump sum to your family
Joint cover insurance is possible
You can use it to protect your mortgage
Premiums are fixed for the duration of the policy
Decreasing Cover
This type of cover was created to protect a regular mortgage repayment or loan in the event of your death. Compared to the level cover, the decreasing cover pays out less over time, in line with your mortgage’s outstanding balance.
