Auto · Life · Health

Cover that still fits the life you are living now.

Most policies are bought once and then quietly left alone. Households grow, cars change hands, jobs end, health questions get harder to answer. FirstGuard writes auto, life and health cover priced for the household you have today.

Auto

The car, and everyone who is allowed to drive it.

Life

The people who would have to manage without your income.

Health

Treatment, scans and specialists without the waiting list.

Field of view

Six gaps sit inside an ordinary auto life health policy.

Move over the nodes. Each one is something an insurer only learns about after a claim, unless it is written down first.

Declared Usually unmentioned
Contact

Auto

The friend who borrows the car and is named nowhere.

Life

A beneficiary chosen before the household changed shape.

Health

A waiting period that has to be served before it pays.

Auto

Where the car actually sleeps: street, driveway or shared garage.

Life

Unpaid work at home that would have to be hired out.

Health

A chronic condition managed at home and mentioned to nobody.

One household

A change in one part of life rarely stays inside one policy.

Choose the change closest to yours and see which parts of your auto, life and health cover it quietly moves.

01

Auto

A learner or newly licensed driver who is not yet named anywhere on the policy.

Annual mileage that jumps the month a second person starts driving.

04

Life

A dependant with years of schooling still to be paid for.

05

Health

Sports injuries, physiotherapy and the orthodontist bill nobody budgets for.

06

Health

A young adult who drops off a family plan on a date nobody has diarised.

Four things that were accurate on the day you signed.

”

Auto · Who drives it

“Anyone in the house is covered if they take the car.”

Most policies cover named drivers, not every licence in the hallway. Adding a name usually costs less than a single declined claim.

01 / 04

Some of these may still be perfectly true for you. The useful part is knowing which ones stopped being true, and covering what they no longer do.

The thread

One line runs through all three policies.

Scroll slowly. The line below is the same information, moving from one policy to the next.

01 · Who is in the household

The same list of names belongs on all three policies.

Drivers on the car, dependants on the life cover, members on the health plan. One change usually touches at least two of them.

02 · What it would cost to replace

Every policy contains a number set on a date.

A car value, a sum insured, an annual limit. None of them move on their own while prices do.

03 · When cover actually starts

Waiting periods run on their own calendar.

Health benefits and some life benefits only begin after a set time has passed. The clock starts at the application, not at the claim.

04 · Who reads it after you

A policy is only useful if someone can find it.

Documents, numbers and contacts kept in one place, under the names of people who would actually need them.

One ordinary week

Nothing here happens on a renewal date.

Monday

Auto

Someone else takes the car to work. A driver who is not on the schedule is still a driver.

02

Wednesday

Health

A routine check turns into a referral. The waiting period started the day the plan did.

03

Thursday

Health & Life

A new contract is signed. Group benefits leave the building when you do.

04

Saturday

Life

One more person depends on the same monthly numbers. The sum insured was chosen for a smaller household.

05

Sunday

The paperwork

The week ends. The policy still describes last year.

Five days, three policies, one set of details behind them.

What we cover

Three policies, written to sit beside each other.

Auto, life and health cover from one insurer, on one renewal date, with one set of details to keep current.

01

Auto

The car, and everything it quietly does

  • Comprehensive, third party and fire, or third party only
  • Named additional drivers, including young and learner drivers
  • Roadside assistance, towing and a courtesy car after a claim
  • Cover for tools, laptops and equipment carried in the vehicle
  • Towbars, roof boxes, bike racks and fitted accessories declared up front

02

Life

The people standing behind you on paper

  • Term cover for the years a mortgage or a child still needs it
  • Whole of life cover with a fixed sum insured
  • Critical illness and total disability benefits paid to you, not an estate
  • Beneficiaries you can update in minutes, as often as life requires
  • Funeral and immediate expenses released while paperwork is still moving

03

Health

Treatment that does not wait for a date

  • Hospital cover for admissions, surgery and intensive care
  • Day-to-day benefits for GP visits, scans, dentistry and optometry
  • Chronic medication and ongoing condition management
  • Maternity, newborn cover and paediatric visits
  • Emergency transport and out-of-area treatment

Benefits, limits and waiting periods differ by plan. Full terms are set out in the policy schedule issued with your quote.

Timing

The moment worth looking is rarely the renewal letter.

Timing changes what can be asked, priced and offered. Some cover is simply easier to arrange before an event than after it.

01

Auto

The week before the policy renews itself

A renewal goes through whether or not anyone has looked at it.

02

Auto

The day a second person starts driving

A new licence in the household changes who is protected and at what price.

03

Life

The month you sign for a home

Years left on a bond deserve the same number of years of cover behind it.

04

Life

The month a child arrives

A new dependant changes both the amount and the name on the policy.

05

Health

While the health questions are still routine

Underwriting looks at the answers available on the day you apply.

06

Health

The month you leave a job

Workplace cover usually stops at the door. Waiting periods start again outside it.

07

All three

The year two households become one

Two sets of policies, two renewal dates and one budget between them.

In practice

None of it arrives labelled auto, life or health.

It arrives as a set of keys, a doorway, a corridor, a quiet room. The policies only matter afterwards.

Drag to compare

The household you insured, and the one you have.

Pull the handle across. The policy did not move on its own.

Today

Two drivers, one dependant, a health plan that has to cover four people.

The day you signed

One driver, nobody dependent on the income, a plan bought for one person.

Four lines that decide a claim

The cards stack. So do the clauses.

Line 01 · Named drivers and members

Who is listed, not who lives there.

Auto cover follows the names on the schedule, and a health plan follows the members added to it. Living in the same house is not the same as being on the policy.

Line 02 · Sum insured

The number that caps everything else.

A claim is paid up to this figure and no further. It was chosen on one particular day, against one particular set of prices.

Line 03 · Waiting periods

Cover that exists, but not yet.

Several health and life benefits only become payable after a defined period. The date on the application is the date that matters.

Line 04 · Beneficiary

The one line nobody re-reads.

A life policy pays the name written on it. Marriages, separations and births do not update that line by themselves.

Before you compare prices

Three questions worth more than a fast quote.

The same cover looks different from three distances. Move between them and see what each one brings into the frame.

What am I actually covering?

How cover starts

Three steps, and nothing signed until you say so.

Step 02

We price the three policies

Auto, life and health quoted separately, then together on one date.

Step 03

Cover starts when you accept

Documents issued the same day, with every limit written down.
