Best for: People looking for comprehensive coverage

Our take: Vantis Life’s comprehensive coverage is what makes it stand out from the rest. Alongside the death benefit, policyholders can add on riders and supplemental features that create a robust life insurance policy and plan for the unexpected. And while family is the priority — that coverage can extend to a charitable organization of your choice. When you pass, Vantis Life will donate a lump sum to your chosen charity at no additional cost to you.

Vantis Life doesn’t just offer contact-free life insurance; it offers supplemental coverage that enhances your policy. You can add riders to your coverage to build a robust policy that enhances your protection. And at the end of your policy’s term, you can convert it to a permanent policy if you need to extend your coverage.

What Vantis Life has to say: “[What] set us apart is our product offering. Vantis Life offers a life insurance solution to meet a variety of financial needs and goals no matter what stage of life people are in,” says Manny Lirio, assistant vice president of e-commerce and sales acquisition at Vantis Life.

In addition to term life insurance, Vantis Life offers permanent life insurance solutions up to $2.5 million of whole life coverage and up to $25,000 of final expense coverage – all online with no agent involvement and all available 24/7/365, Lirio says.

  • Riders can be added to policies for an additional fee
  • A charitable giving rider can be added on at no cost

Company background: Vantis Life is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Penn Mutual Life Insurance Co. Its primary focus is providing families with life insurance and annuity products that provide protection and guarantees. Vantis Life prides itself on offering easy-to-afford products with convenient service and a simple application process.

Interesting tidbit: Vantis Life offers a charitable giving rider for free to its policyholders. When the insured dies, Vantis Life pays out to a charity of the policyholder’s choice. “At no additional cost, this rider provides our customers the opportunity to leave behind a sizable donation to a charity they love. If the customer passes away while their policy is still active, Vantis Life will pay an additional 1% of the policy’s death benefit – up to $100,000 – to a qualified charitable organization of the policyholder’s choosing,” says Lirio.
