Why consider life insurance?

Life Insurance can help make the hardest time a little easier for those you love. On the whole, Kiwis are underinsured – and the AA Life Insurance team want to do something about that. Our goal is to help you understand why life insurance is important and provide simple, easy-to-get cover. 

If you have people who depend on you for financial support, then it’s good to consider your life insurance options. If something happens to you, a payout could help the people important to you with things like mortgage repayments, living costs, or simply by leaving a legacy - depending on what level of cover you choose.

How life insurance can help your family

Finding comfort in home and whānau

Faced with a devastating terminal cancer diagnosis in March 2022, Muri Paekau-Richards found comfort in having the option to return to her papa kāinga and spend time with the people she really loved. “If you don’t have insurance” she said at the time, “your options are undeniably limited”. This is her story.

FAQs

How long does the application process take?

The application takes between 15 - 30 minutes to complete online.

Can I add a beneficiary to my policy?

You can add a beneficiary as part of the application process, or if you'd like to add one later, you can do so by completing the Beneficiary Form on our website, or getting in touch with us. Their details are loaded against your policy so that any payouts are made to them directly. We recommend you put some provisions in place on how you'd like payments to be administered i.e. organising a will, trustee or guardian.

Can I apply for life insurance if I have a disease, an illness, or I am overweight?

You may be able to, but the terms of your policy may be changed. For instance, a premium loading may apply (this means that your premiums may be more expensive). Any exclusions or premium loadings are made clear to you as part of the application process before making a decision to purchase.

If I give up smoking, will my premium decrease?

If you have been smoke-free for 12 months, you may be eligible for a premium decrease. Please contact us to discuss your individual situation.

Do I need to complete a medical check, or disclose further medical information?

We'll ask you to answer the questions we need to know now, so that we can be transparent on price and you can tick life insurance off your list more easily. We won't need you to follow up with further medical information or complete any medical checks - once it's done, it's done.
