What a great experience, especially at renewal time! Caris called and didn't just try to sell me into a new product but she checked my existing provider and beat the price - took her a week of back and forth with the insurance provider but she proved the actual service they can provide and she added great value to the process all whilst being… Read more
friendly, fun and and professional. I never leave reviews but she is a true asset to the business and made the experience easy! If you can ask for Caris - she is just the best - I am no way affiliated to her or the business - she was just simply fantastic!
Difficult to contact and extra unnecessary steps. I did get a policy in the end but I am a bit unclear on the actual options and benefits that were presented. Seems to be a lot of noise and could have been simpler for me. I didn't have the time to start again somewhere else. Show details

Information regarding policy changes – I recently was thinking of making a few adjustments to my various policies with AIA (via life insurance direct) due a massive preminum increase. Hiba assisted me in exploring what effect various changes to my policies would have on the premium - the answer was - very little! Even with a big cut back on insured amounts, i would only save myself in… Read more · 1
the order of $20-30 per month, so not really worth it. And also, to change to another insurer means going through all the medical work up again, plus wait times plus new exclusions - also not worth it! And for everyone out there with own occupation income protection - beware that if you change policy or go with another comapny, you will lose your own income payout till age 65; they will cut it back and stop it after only 2 years so that even if you've been a brain surgeon - you can still flip burgers according to them and they will no longer pay you the salary you are used to - beware! So yes, Hiba was helpful but the insurance companies have us all by the scruff of the neck and they know we can't cancel our policies or change to someone else. Just glad I got my own occupation till 65 when I did!
Excellent customer service – Thanks to Ivan for helping me through this process. He answered all my questions very clearly and provided me with useful information to make my decision regarding life and trauma insurance much easier. He is very good to talk with - friendly and professional. I needed time to process all the information and check out what other options were… Read more · 1
available and Ivan was happy for me to do so. He followed up with me as arranged and, even when I sill hadn't decided, was very happy to give me more time. I didn't feel pressured at any time and I really appreciated this - nothing worse than being treated as just another sale - certainly not the case with Ivan. The whole experience was very positive and I have taken up a policy. I would also like to congratulate Life Insurance Direct on the way they manage the quotes - being able to change the parameters myself allowed me flexibility to check companies, their price and conditions, without having to rely on a consultant each time until I needed more information. Great customer service by Ivan.

Tara Oxlade from Life Insurance Direct was very professional, helpful and efficient with my business and personal insurance policy request. Tara took the extra time to explain in detail, any ambiguity throughout this process. Ultimately this ensured that I have secured the insurance that suits my needs and requirements, with complete certainty and comfort on the cover that I now have. Great work and thanks.

My Consultant has to work hard and that’s a shame! – * contacted only as the Policy was due for payment. * only interest in payment not checking on better policy until I pushed the matter by canceling my payment on Policy Due. * all suggestions on how to save funds came from me the customer. My consultant was helpful in the scope of work there is no criticism of their work it is sad that they had to listen to my frustrations in the phone . Show details

Pathetic – Absolutely pathetic, incompetent and just plain dumb. I always get emails and messages that I haven't paid a premium, when in fact I have.
