2.Make sure you get the right cover
It's not just about getting the cheapest cover - it's about getting the right protection plan for your circumstances:
Know exactly what's covered - Check the small print.
Always offer full disclosure - Never hide anything from your insurer - it will jeopardise a claim.
Only insure for what you need - Shorter the term, cheaper the policy. Eg. You may want to only purchase cover until your children finish full-time education, or your partner retires.
Reduce the risk - The lower your risk profile, the cheaper your premiums. Try quitting smoking, losing weight or getting fitter and watch the premiums fall.
