Haven Life is a digital insurance agency that offers two term life insurance options, Haven Term and Haven Simple. Haven Term is a term policy with durations of between 10 and 30 years and coverage of up to $3 million. Haven Simple is also a term-based policy but has lower coverage amounts and shorter offered durations of between five and 20 years. The upside for some people may be that it doesn’t require a medical exam for coverage. Both policies can be applied online without the aid of an agent.
It should be noted that Haven Life doesn’t issue the policies it sells. Instead, the policies are issued by MassMutual, which also made our rating, or one of its subsidiaries.
