Read the guideCheap car insurance: 7 tips to save without cutting your cover
The price of car insurance depends on a combination of factors: your driver profile, your vehicle, your area and the cover chosen. Here are seven concrete levers to reduce your premium without exposing yourself.
- Compare regularly: for equal cover, price differences between insurers remain significant.
- Adjust the excess: a slightly higher excess reduces the premium, if you drive little.
- Choose the right cover: comprehensive is not always necessary on an older vehicle.
- Declare your real mileage: pay-per-mile policies are advantageous for low-mileage drivers.
- Look after your no-claims bonus: claim-free driving lowers your coefficient every year.
- Consider annual payment: monthly direct debit sometimes costs more.
- Bundle your policies: multi-policy offers can unlock discounts.
The simplest approach remains to compare with our simulator: it cross-checks several insurers from the panel in seconds.
Health cover: how to choose your optical and dental cover well
Optical and dental are the two items where out-of-pocket costs are highest. To choose well, look at the reimbursement amounts expressed in euros (optical) and as a percentage of the reimbursement base (dental).
A "300% dental" guarantee does not mean 300% of the real price, but of the French social security convention rate. So compare policies on identical bases and assess your real needs: wearing glasses does not necessarily imply maximum dental cover, and vice versa.
An advisor can help you balance each item to avoid overpaying for cover you will not use.
Self-employed professional liability: are you really protected in your activity?
Professional liability covers the damage caused to your clients or to third parties in the course of your activity: an error, an omission, advice that goes wrong. Without professional liability, it is your personal assets that are exposed.
Before subscribing, check three points: the scope covered (does it match your exact trade?), the cover limits (are they sufficient for the risk?) and the exclusions. Some regulated professions require professional liability: it is an obligation, not an option.
Our simulator adapts the cover to your activity and your headcount.
Tenant or homeowner home insurance: what your policy really covers
As a tenant, your home insurance mainly covers three things: tenant liability (damage caused to the rented property), your personal belongings and your private liability. As a homeowner, you must also protect the building itself.
Beware of misconceptions: "theft" only covers what is expressly guaranteed, and certain exclusions (valuables above a limit, homes unoccupied beyond a certain period…) deserve careful reading.
Cancelling insurance: what are your rights and how to go about it
Since the Hamon law and the "3-click cancellation" rule, you can cancel most of your policies (car, home, health) at any time after one year of commitment, without fees or reason. The new insurer can handle the process on your behalf.
Check the notice periods specific to each policy, and keep a written record of your request. At RASSURE TOI, we handle the cancellation of your old policy when you subscribe to a new one.
Risk prevention in business: where to start to better protect your activity
Before subscribing, map your risks: what could interrupt your activity? A claim on your premises, a dispute with a client, an IT failure, an employee leaving…
Prevention reduces both the likelihood of a claim and the cost of insurance: regular backups, equipment updates, team training. We integrate this risk management advice dimension into our support.
