Sum insured
What is sum insured?
The sum insured is the value you insure an item or property for, and the most the insurer will pay for a total loss. Setting it too low leads to under-insurance and reduced payouts.
Example
If your home's buildings sum insured is R2 million, that's the most the insurer will pay to rebuild it.
