Am I too young for Life Insurance?
Plus icon

If you’ve recently found yourself pondering, “Am I too young for life insurance?” then rest assured, you’re NOT!

While life insurance is often seen as a necessity for older adults, securing a policy at a younger age can be a wise and strategic decision.Consider life insurance as a vital safety net.

Although it may not be top of mind while you’re busy enjoying life—traveling, pursuing your career, or spending quality time with friends—investing in a policy now can lead to significantly lower premiums compared to waiting until later in life.

The earlier you secure coverage, the more affordable it tends to be. Additionally, if you have dependents—be it children, a partner, or even a pet—life insurance provides peace of mind, ensuring that they are financially protected in the event of the unexpected.

In summary, while youth often brings a sense of invincibility, considering life insurance is a proactive step toward safeguarding your financial future. It’s not merely a concern for older individuals; it’s a responsible choice for anyone looking to invest in their long-term financial well-being.

I'm young and healthy, do I really need life or health insurance?
Plus icon

We hear this question a lot.

In short.... yes you do!

You're always better off securing a great policy when you are younger and healthier because it will cost you less! In some cases, you can even fix the cost for a period of time so that it doesn't continually increase with your age.

There are lots of options available and we want to give you the right policy at a great price, so speak to one of our friendly team today!

Doesn't ACC cover me for any sporting injury?
Plus icon

Well, while ACC (the Accident Compensation Corporation) does cover many injuries, it’s not the all-encompassing safety net you might hope for.

ACC is great at covering the costs of treatment and rehabilitation, as well as up to 80% of your pay. This will not completely replace your take home pay and may have a significant financial impact on your family and lifestyle. That’s where a specific injury cover comes in.

Imagine this: you take a tumble while chasing that elusive goal, and suddenly you’re out of commission. ACC will help with the medical bills and part of your wages but it won’t replace your lost income fully or provide a financial cushion during your recovery.

That’s where specific injury cover shines. With this insurance, you’ll receive a lump sum payout if you suffer a covered injury. This means you can focus on healing rather than stressing over finances.

So, while ACC is fantastic for medical costs and the bulk of your income, a specific injury cover ensures you’re protected against the unexpected twists and turns of your sporting adventures. After all, it’s better to be safe than sorry when it comes to your active lifestyle!

How much do you charge for advice?
Plus icon

Our initial advice is always free if you take out a cover with us or not.
If you decide to go ahead with an insurance cover and then cancel it within a 24 month period, we would consider this an early cancellation and on-charge you for the time we spend setting your initial cover in place. This would exclude financial hardship.
Otherwise you will never pay us anything directly. It doesn't matter how many meetings or conversations we need to have to get your policies in place and how many follow-up calls or questions you ask!
We have a relationship with insurers, and we are remunerated by them.

My Insurance is currently costing me so much, how can you save me $$?
Plus icon

At Parachute, we pride ourselves on providing personalised advice tailored to your unique needs.

Unlike those big banks or corporate insurance companies that often treat customers like a number, we take the time to understand your situation and what coverage you really need.

When you work with us, we dig deep to find the right policies for you, which means you’re less likely to overpay for unnecessary extras. Those large companies might push you into a cookie-cutter plan, leaving you with features you don’t even want (seriously, who needs zombie apocalypse coverage?).

By focusing on your individual circumstances, we ensure that you only pay for what you actually need. Plus, our ongoing support means we’ll keep reviewing your policies as your life changes—because life happens, and so should your insurance!

So, if you’re tired of feeling like just another cog in a corporate machine, come chat with us at Parachute. We’re here to help you save money while giving you peace of mind, all with that warm, personal touch. Who knew saving money could feel so good?
