Polis Re's approach to an insurance task
Clients come with different tasks: to protect a car, real estate, health, liability or a business. To make a correct proposal, you first need to understand the object, identify the material risks and collect the data that the insurance company uses for its calculation.
Once the options are received, it is important to compare not only the insurance premium but also the sums insured, deductibles, exclusions, territory, terms and the claims settlement procedure. The client chooses an offer after reviewing the rules and the draft contract.
How an enquiry is handled
- The client describes the task: what needs to be insured, for what period and which risks are of concern.
- Information about the object and the policyholder that insurers need for the calculation is collected.
- The request is sent to insurance companies, and the results are brought into a comparable form.
- The client receives explanations of the differences in cover, deductibles and exclusions.
- Once an option is chosen, the data in the application and the draft policy are checked.
- The client pays the premium using the official details and receives the full set of documents.
For standard types of insurance, you can estimate the preliminary cost yourself in the calculators section, and descriptions of the programs are collected in the types of insurance section.

How to assess the quality of an insurance service
| Criterion | A good sign | A reason to be wary |
|---|---|---|
| Calculation | Parameters and restrictions are explained | Only a low price is shown |
| Documents | The rules are available before payment | You are asked to sign without reading |
| Information | Material data is requested | You are advised to conceal information |
| Payment | The payee is clear and a receipt is issued | You are asked to transfer money to a personal card |
| Result | The client receives the full set of documents | The rules or contacts are missing |
What the client should understand
- no intermediary can guarantee that a future event will be recognized as insured;
- payment depends on the contract and the supporting documents;
- the decision to accept a risk is made by the insurance company;
- the client is responsible for the accuracy of the application;
- changes to the policy must be made officially;
- compulsory types of insurance are provided only by licensed insurers.
Absolute claims such as "the best", "all companies" or "guaranteed payment" with no verifiable basis do not help in choosing a policy. It is more reliable to assess the specific terms, the documents and the transparency of the process.
Support when an insured event occurs
- Ensure safety and call the competent services.
- Notify the insurance company in accordance with the contract rules.
- Obtain a reference number and the list of documents.
- Record the circumstances, the damage and the costs.
- Submit the materials with confirmation of the date.
- Obtain a written decision and the calculation of the payment.
Polis Re can help the client understand the sequence of actions and with communication, but the legally binding decision is made by the insurer.
Frequently asked questions
Can I get several offers at once?
Yes, the service's task is to collect and compare offers from different insurers on identical parameters. A list of companies is given in the insurance companies section.
Do I need to read the insurance rules myself?
Yes. Explanations help you understand the terms, but the decision to buy is made by the client, so the rules and the draft contract should be read before payment.
What should I do if my details changed after the policy was issued?
Report the changes before an event occurs: a change of owner, address, drivers or the way the property is used can affect the terms. Changes are made only officially — by an additional agreement or by reissuing the policy.
