personas

  • title: Renter signing a new lease
    pains:
    • Needs proof of insurance before move-in.
    • Wants an understandable policy without a long sales process.
  • title: Household sharing a lease
    pains:

    pains:
    • Premium changes make budgeting difficult.

message pillars

  • text: Make shared-lease coverage easier.

objections

  • objection: Will an online insurer help with a claim?
    response: Goodcover says it offers human support and names its underwriting carriers; inspect policy and claims procedures before purchase.
  • objection: Will this cover everyone and satisfy my landlord?
    response: Review the lease, insured persons, liability limit and policy exclusions before relying on the quote.
  • objection: Is the dividend guaranteed or is the price always lowest?
    response: Compare actual quotes and dividend terms; rates and coverage depend on the applicant and no guaranteed savings are established here.
