Overall Rating: 4.8 / 5 (Excellent)

LTC Rider allows consumers to get a free online quote for life insurance policies with a long-term care rider offered by one of America’s most trusted insurance providers, the John Hancock Life Insurance Company. The company’s website is easy to use, and consumers can get an instant quote within a few seconds by providing details such as their name, gender, and brief health history. Once this information is submitted, consumers receive a quote with details about their plan like premium duration, benefits, and available programs and discounts. One of the perks of using LTC Rider, is that consumers can also apply for life insurance policies through the company’s website. Additionally, LTC Rider offers customer support via email and over the phone, in case additional assistance is required. However, since the company is fairly new, consumer reviews are hard to find through different outlets, so we encourage consumers to do additional research before purchasing any products.
