About Smarter Cover

Written by the company

As personal circumstances are subject to change at very short notice, it is vital that your protection reflects your personal requirements.

Smarter Cover is here to help you with that.

We are an independent life insurance brokerage, created to help you identify the most suitable policy, from some of the biggest life insurance providers in the UK.


Free Trust Service

When your life insurance policy is paid out, it would normally go through probate and, if it goes into you legal estate, may be subject to inheritance tax. By putting your life insurance policy into trust, the money will be paid directly to the beneficiaries which usually avoids the probate process and IHT calculation.

We offer to set this up on all our policies, for free.

Just contact us on: 0800 012 4402 to get your free quote.

Talk to the experts, not robots!

When you speak to us, you’ll be speaking to a friendly protection specialist based in the UK.

No doubt the mannie I spoke to was working to/from a script ( at my age, all illusions about 'niceness' were destroyed many years ago)
But it matters not, he was friendly and chatty and my 'experience' was a good one, everything was carried out with aplomb and was done in a friendly voice, no false starts, no errors (on his part), and was carried out quickly and efficiently.🙂.

My advisor, Damian

My advisor, Damian, was pleasant, jovial and knowledgeable. He was professional and took me through all the information I needed to make an informed decision.
He never tried to force a sale; instead he gave me all my options and allowed me to come to a decision independently.
I am very happy with the experience and the decision I made.

Good experience, good customer service.

Had great conversation with Kai, very friendly and polite, was patient when I kept asking if he could repeat himself because my 4yo was shouting in my ear, (I would have got annoyed after being asked twice 🤣). Great experience.
