We will explain all the benefits and how the product works. Once you understand the policy, we do a free quote for you. You tell us who you want to cover and how much you want to cover them for. We help you chop and change the policy until you are satisfied with your monthly premium. If you are satisfied with the policy structure, we arrange everything for you.

How does AVBOB Calculate Premiums?
Premiums are calculated using a couple of factors. The first thing we look at is the person’s age. The older you are, the more it will cost. Combining age with cover amount is the starting point to determine how much it will cost. You can add your direct family and up to 6 extended family members. Every member you add will cost you more. It depends on the relationship, age and cover amount. You can add or remove cover until you are comfortable with the monthly cost. Once we know all the members of the policy, we combine the premium into one monthly premium.
What Makes AVBOB a Good Choice?
One of the main reasons why AVBOB is a great option is the free funeral services. To explain this better, let’s look at the difference between a cash only and cash with benefits policy. A cash only policy will pay a lump sum to the beneficiary. The beneficiary then has to find providers for burial products and services. For example, you will need a tombstone, coffin, flowers, venue, musicians, pamphlets, grave site, etc. The beneficiary can use multiple providers to find the best deals on all the products and services. This is great for an experienced person who knows how to arrange a funeral. The last thing an upset family wants is to struggle to arrange the service.
With AVBOB, you have the option to take the money and arrange everything yourself. Alternatively, you can let them do everything for you. This is an easy and convenient way to get things done effectively. The beneficiary will choose all the products and services they want. The money will be deducted from the cash payout. All money that remains will still be paid out to the family. This means that you do not have to struggle to find everything you need; you can get it from under one roof. If you decide to use them for the funeral service, you get up to R21 500 free benefits over and above the cash payout. This includes a free basic funeral of up to R13 303.

Funeral Benefits vs Cash Only Option
There are two ways you can use your policy. It is the same policy. It’s all comes down to how you decide to use it. At the end of the day, you can decide what works best for your needs. The decision is made when it comes down to a claim.
Cash Only Policy
The first option is a cash only plan. What this means is you can take a cash lump sum and arrange everything on your own. This is a great way to shop for the best deals. This option is slightly harder and can take a lot of time and effort. The advantage of this option is that you can possibly save money and get the exact products and services you need.
Cash with Benefits Policy

The cost will be deducted from the insured amount. All money that remains after the burial will be paid to the beneficiary. You can get your tombstone, coffin, flowers and even catering directly from them. We believe that this is the best option, however, it comes down to what you need.
