Want some tips & tricks on how to make sure you’re always getting more bang for your buck?


  • Consider building an emergency fund so you can increase your excess and reduce your monthly payments. This will give you more cash flow and peace of mind in case of an unexpected event.
  • Review your insurance providers every 6-12 months just to make sure they’re still competitive. Set some reminders in your phone to do this.
  • Check for discounts, always check with your provider if they have any discounts going on your premiums.
  • Shop around, don’t be afraid to jump ship and try a different provider.


Remember, everyone's situation is unique, so use this guide as a starting point and customise it to fit your individual circumstances.

Happy saving!
