How to Choose Your jewellers insurance Deductible

 Insurance can be confusing. The insurance industry uses a lot of specific jargon that you likely do not use on a regular basis. (Deductibles, and premiums, and claims! Oh, my!)

Don't let these unknowns steer you in the wrong direction. Let's clear up some of these gray areas - right here, right now. We want you to feel as confident as possible that you're choosing the best jewellers insurance plan for you. Here are common questions regarding jewellery insurance canada deductibles.

What is an Insurance Deductible?

A deductible is the amount of money you have to pay out-of-pocket when you file a claim for jewelry damage, theft or loss. After the deductible is met, your insurance company pays their portion to cover the cost for your jeweler to repair or replace your jewelry with the same kind and quality as the original.
Deductibles are easily confused with premiums. Your premium is the set amount you pay each year to maintain your insurance coverage. You pay this portion regardless if you file a claim or not.
While deductibles and premiums are separate entities, they're interrelated. The higher deductible you choose, the lower your premium will be.

How to Choose an Insurance Deductible

When you choose a deductible, consider the amount you're willing to spend in the event of damage, theft or loss. Up to what amount would you easily be able to cover, given your current finances? That amount is a great starting point.
Similarly, think about your budget and how well you're able to adjust to unexpected expenses. A premium is something you can plan on and budget for. A deductible only comes about in the unexpected event of damage or loss, kind of like that surprise car repair you didn't see coming.
Another smart strategy is to compare the cost savings depending on which deductible you choose. Do you save a lot each year by slightly increasing your deductible? The higher deductible might be worth the risk. On the other hand, if the cost savings isn't much, you might prefer to have a $0 deductible.

In Conclusion

Choosing the right Jewellers insurance in canada deductible is a personal decision that depends on your specific situation.
While a $0 deductible might be great for your friend who never strays a dollar out of his budget, you might rarely wear the jewelry you're insuring and prefer to risk the chance of shelling out some cash for a loss in favor of annual premium savings.
Either way, buying jewelry and the insurance to protect it is an investment - one that uses your hard-earned money - and that's a big deal.
