Questions about each
BoatUS
What does boat insurance from BoatUS cost?+
Premium from $25 is the published starting point, and the excess starts at $100, so the amount you fund yourself on a claim is set by that figure. Monthly payments are available, which spreads the cost across the policy term rather than a single annual payment.
Can I pay monthly instead of settling the premium at once?+
Yes, monthly payments are available, which is the clearest reason to hold a boat policy here. It also means the starting premium of $25 is spread across the term, so each payment is smaller than the full amount due in one go.
Digit Insurance
How much does a Digit Insurance policy start at?+
Two-wheeler cover starts at INR 714. Across the brands on this site, that sits well above the median of €8.37 and places Digit Insurance at 111 out of 252 on this measure. Home and health cover is quoted separately.
Is Digit Insurance a broker or the insurer?+
It is the insurer itself, listed under insurer. The policy is underwritten by Go Digit General Insurance Limited and claims are handled in house, which removes the extra layer a broker would add.
