Acasta’s new Excess Protect rates allow brokers to be more competitive.
Acasta’s Excess Protect rates have been reviewed and updated to allow brokers to sell the product more competitively within the market.
At Acasta, we have an experienced team of underwriters who have been writing Excess Protect for many years. Due to this our products have been carefully written to ensure they are best suited to clients should they need to claim on their main insurance.
Our recent review has led to our rates decreasing, so brokers can actively offer the product to your clients, complementing other products they may be purchasing, such as car or home insurance.
With insurance premiums on the rise, many people are choosing to increase their voluntary excess leaving them at risk of having a large pay out should they need to claim on their insurance.
Acasta’s products cover both your clients voluntary and mandatory excess, whether it is a fault or non-fault claim they need to make, so clients are fully protected.
Our New Excess Protect Rates
Acasta are pleased to inform you that after our recent rate review, our Excess Protect rates have now decreased. Our new net rates are now considerably lower, with some products decreasing by over 50%.
The new rates will give you the opportunity to be more competitive within the market and offer better rates to your clients. The new rates allow you to sell Excess Protect to your clients for a lower price, yet still benefit from the additional revenue.
Due to people opting to increase their voluntary excess, the new rates also allow you to benefit from offering Excess Protect alongside other products your client may be buying. The product can complement a wide range of insurance products you may currently sell and offers your client the added protection they may need if they must claim on their main insurance.
