Insurance Companion

Insurance documents explained in plain English

Understand policy wording, claim updates, renewal notices, exclusions, bills and requests for information — with a clear, neutral explanation you can read or listen to.

We explain the wording only. We do not give insurance, legal, financial or claims advice or tell you what decision to make.

Clarity before the next step

Insurance wording can feel overwhelming

Important details can be buried in formal language, definitions and exclusions. We slow the document down and explain what it appears to say, without steering your decision.

  • See the document's main message
  • Understand unfamiliar terms and stated exclusions
  • Prepare neutral questions for your insurer or broker

  • Is there a deadline I need to be aware of?
  • Can you explain this decision in simpler terms?

Clear boundaries

Explanation, not insurance advice

Insurance Companion helps you understand the words. It does not replace your insurer, broker, solicitor, financial adviser or regulated professional.

What Insurance Companion does not do

We do not advise whether a policy is suitable, decide whether a claim should be accepted, judge whether a bill is fair, write a complaint for you or tell you to accept or reject a decision.

If the document involves an urgent deadline, legal action, cancellation, missed payment or rejected claim, contact your insurer, broker or an appropriate qualified professional promptly.

Frequently asked questions

Before you upload

Quick answers about Insurance Companion and what the service can explain.

What insurance documents can I upload?

You can upload policy documents, claim updates, renewal letters, bills, excess information, delayed or rejected claim letters, complaints responses and requests for further information.

Will you tell me whether my claim should be accepted?

No. We explain the insurer's wording and can suggest neutral questions. We do not give claims advice, predict outcomes or decide whether an insurer is right.

Can you explain policy exclusions and excesses?

We can explain how these terms are worded in the document. We cannot interpret coverage as a regulated adviser or say whether the terms apply legally to your situation.

Can I choose the tone?

Yes. Choose calm and reassuring, simple and direct, friendly and supportive, formal and professional, or family-friendly wording.

Can I receive an audio explanation?

Yes. An optional audio version can make the explanation easier to absorb, revisit or share.
