The initial step is that you are clear about your needs and your budget, that is to say, that you know what coverage you require and under what conditions, an insurance intermediary, either agent or broker, can advise you on this. Likewise, you should know that the greater the coverage and the better the conditions, probably the higher the premium cost will be, so it is important that you are clear about the amount you are willing to pay.
Once you have made an informed decision about the insurance you require, it is necessary that you inform yourself about the risks, benefits, obligations and charges related to the policy you wish to purchase. In addition, you must subscribe and submit a formal insurance application to the insurer or insurance intermediary (brokers and agents), which must be accepted or rejected by the insurer within the following 30 calendar days, counted from the date of receipt of the application. Acceptance may even be immediate and the insurance becomes firm.
​​Another modality is when the acceptance of the conditions is made by the policyholder. In these cases the insurer issues an insurance proposal or offer and upon acceptance by the policyholder the contract is perfected. This modality occurs, among others, in self-expeditable insurance policies.
