Guardian1821 is the insurer to shortlist if you want life, critical illness and income protection under one roof, with monthly premiums and cover open to ages up to 70. Premiums are quoted per policy rather than a flat brand rate, so the monthly figure on your own quote is the number that matters.

Pros and cons

Allianz Lebensversicherungs-AG

Pros

  • Starting premium of €2.60 a month, under the comparison median €8.37.
  • Cover limits run 25,000-20,000,000 EUR, so the policy scales across a wide range of sums.
  • Monthly payments are available, so the cost is spread over the year instead of paid upfront.

Cons

  • Monthly is the only payment model listed (monthly), so the payment schedule is a narrow choice.
  • The types listed are life and income protection, so the range stops at life and income protection cover.
  • Entry ages stop at up to 74 years, so applicants past that point sit outside the range.

Guardian1821

Pros

  • A single insurer covers life, critical illness and income protection, so several kinds of protection can sit with the same company.
  • Policies run on monthly premiums, and support runs on phone, email and help centre.
  • Trading since 1821 in the United Kingdom, with authorisation from the Financial Conduct Authority and Prudential Regulation Authority under reference 110002.

Cons

  • Support and claims run on phone, email and help centre only, with no live chat listed.
  • The income protection payout is a share of annual earnings that steps down as earnings rise, so the cover limit is smallest for higher earners.

Who each suits

Allianz Lebensversicherungs-AG

Who it suits

  • People in DE who want life or income protection and would rather hold the policy with the insurer than a broker, since the provider type is insurer
  • Anyone who wants the premium spread monthly rather than settled at once, since monthly payments are available
  • Applicants inside the entry ages of up to 74 years who want cover sized anywhere within 25,000-20,000,000 EUR

Who should look elsewhere

  • Not Linxea if the lowest monthly figure matters most, since Linxea starts at €25 against Allianz's €2.60
  • Not Oney Préstamos ES, whose starting premium of €1,000 sits well above Allianz's €2.60
  • Not Good Sam Insurance Agency if you want a wider spread of policies, since it covers auto, home and renters while Allianz lists life and income protection

Guardian1821

Who it suits

  • People in GB who want life, critical illness and income protection from one regulated insurer.
  • Buyers comfortable paying monthly premiums and starting claims on phone and email.
  • People who want to begin cover later in life, since entry runs to ages up to 70.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Linxea, if you only want life cover: its range is life, with no critical illness or income protection alongside it.
  • Oney Préstamos ES, if you want health and gadget cover too, since its types are health, life and gadget.
  • Good Sam Insurance Agency, if you want home, auto and pet lines in the same place, which sit outside life, critical illness and income protection.

Questions about each

Allianz Lebensversicherungs-AG

How much does the cover cost each month?+

Premiums start at €2.60 a month, and monthly is the payment model on offer (monthly). That sits under the comparison median €8.37, so entry pricing falls in the cheaper part of the market, with the exact figure depending on the cover you choose.

How much cover can I get?+

Cover limits run 25,000-20,000,000 EUR, so the policy can be sized for a modest sum or a far larger one. The range gives room to match cover to a mortgage, a dependants' income or a legacy, and the wider sums sit alongside €2.60 when the premium is worked out.

Guardian1821

How much do Guardian1821 policies cost?+

Guardian1821 sets the price per quote rather than publishing a single starting premium, and policies run on monthly premiums, so the figure you budget for is the monthly one on your own quote. For context, the medians listed on AssureCue are €7.95 for life insurance, €7 for income protection and €8.40 for critical illness cover.

Who regulates Guardian1821, and is the money protected?+

Guardian1821 is authorised in GB by the Financial Conduct Authority and Prudential Regulation Authority under reference 110002. The policies are written by Guardian Financial Services Limited, and the brand is an insurer, so cover is underwritten by the company you apply to rather than arranged for you by a separate intermediary.
