Buying insurance should feel like securing your future—not deciphering a secret code. Yet, most policy documents are packed with confusing jargon that leaves customers scratching their heads.

Confused person reading documents

What does "sub-limit" mean? How is "sum assured" different from "sum insured"? And why does "co-payment" sound like a hidden cost?

If you've ever signed an insurance policy without fully understanding the terms, you're not alone. But here's the scary truth: Misunderstanding just one clause could cost you thousands when you file a claim.

At A2Z Insure & A2Z Finserve Insurance Marketing LLP, we believe in transparency. In this guide, we'll demystify the most confusing insurance terms so you can buy and use your policy with confidence.
