How do I apply for Haven Life insurance?
Haven Life’s application process is simple:
- Fill out its online life insurance questionnaire by answering a few questions, then choose the coverage amount and policy length you require.
- Once you’ve found coverage and a rate you’re happy with, fill out the 25-minute application to get the most accurate rate. For the application, you need your:
- Driver’s license
- Social Security number
- Finally, answer questions about your lifestyle, health history and family health history to finish your application.
Upon completion of your application, Haven Life’s tools make an algorithmic approval decision based on your health, age and coverage requested. The healthiest individuals younger than 60 who need $1 million or less in coverage may be eligible for InstantTerm, which means they receive coverage immediately. Those who don’t qualify for InstantTerm may need a medical exam and can opt into temporary coverage for up to 90 days.
What policies are offered by Haven Life?
Haven Life offers term life insurance that lasts for 10, 15, 20 or 30 years, although a 30-year term is only available to customers younger than 50. For customers under 60, every Haven Life term life insurance policy can include coverage up to $3 million, while customers from 60 to 64 can only receive coverage up to $1 million. Customers older than 64 cannot receive any coverage from Haven Life, and the company does not offer whole life insurance to applicants of any age.
Riders available for Haven Life policies
Every Haven Life policy comes with add-ons, called riders, that give the policyholder extra protection.
- Accelerated death benefit: If a policyholder becomes terminally ill and is diagnosed as having less than 24 months to live, they can use their coverage to pay for medical expenses while they’re still alive. In this instance, Haven Life subtracts the money used for care from the payout.
- Guaranteed renewability: Every Haven Life policyholder is guaranteed renewed coverage at the end of their term. Prices may increase, but a policyholder never experiences an outright denial.
- Waiver of premium: If a policyholder becomes disabled and cannot work for longer than six months, they do not have to pay premiums for the duration of the disability. Note that this rider requires an additional monthly fee and is only available for applicants younger than 50 in California, Washington D.C., Delaware, Florida, North Dakota, New York and South Dakota.
- Haven Life Plus: Haven Life Plus is included in the purchase of any policy. It allows customers to take advantage of additional services and memberships, including an online legal service for creating wills, free access to fitness and jet lag management apps, secure online document storage and 15% off CVS MinuteClinics. Note that Haven Life Plus is not available in New York, Florida, South Dakota, Washington or North Dakota.

God is my greatest defense in time of need and when I’m unable to pray I can now rest assured knowing my family will be covered in my absence. It was extremely easy to review plan(s) and have my questions answered; Thank you Haven Life for making it so easy. I Am Covered.
Thank you, you have successfully subscribed to our newsletter! Enjoy reading our tips and recommendations.
I've known for a while that I should be an adult and get life insurance to protect my family, but I kept putting it off. Haven made the entire process incredibly easy! I didn't even have to talk to a person :) I was also able to qualify without a medical exam. Their quote was significantly lower than the other companies that I quoted, and the service couldn't have been better! The freebies that are included with Haven Life Plus don't hurt either, and I'm looking forward to checking out Trust & Will to help me complete another item on my adult checklist, estate planning. I highly recommend this company.
Haven Life made this process so easy and convenient! They had a lab near me and that took no time at all and when they had questions that emailed me, so I was able to answer when I had the time. I did have to call with a question and the woman could not have been more pleasant! High recommend! And it’s affordable!
The process was very easy. They scheduled my blood work exam at home and the company had additional questions which we resolved via email. The entire process couldn’t have been any easier. My family is now protected and we have peace of mind.
The entire process was seamless, efficient, and time saving. They set up my medical exam and came to my house which was super convenient. My husband didn't even have to have a medical exam and I'm assuming because his medical records were up to date and mine weren't but very happy with both our processes.
Your "detectives" gave me a ridiculously high rate -- obviously for smokers. I explained why that's a mistake, and...nothing. I need life insurance for a divorce agreement or I wouldn't be anywhere near this silly policy. Which I will drop as soon as I find a better one. But thanks for playing!
My experience started out well. I had my exam and everything checked out like it should. Then the waiting began. I waited. And waited. And waited. After two long ha I started calling and emailing weekly trying to find out what was going on with my account. I never got through to anyone or had anyone respond via email. It took over 3 months to get approved. I was just about to cancel the application when they emailed that I had been approved. Terrible service. Look dude where.
I've been looking for a life insurance just in case something happens to me, my family won't have to worry about money or having to pay my debt. This was easy to get a quote, get the funds I wanted and a very affordable price. I did try other sites, but I had to answer to many personal questions over the phone that I was just not too comfortable with. I would recommend Haven Life to everyone I know as it was easy and fast to get coverage.
This was so easy! Haven has a great online system that made applying simple. Straightforward and fair pricing. I was able to apply and get approved without wasting time. Glad I chose them for mine and my family's peace of mind.
I have never had an easier time purchasing life insurance. Usually it would take weeks and I would have to send documents and have multiple calls. I was able to secure life insurance in 30 minutes and it didn't cost me any more than other life insurance. Also, really liked how simple and easy the website was.
