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.
