Although the ratings are simple enough to interpret, rigorous calculations have been conducted behind the scenes to assign each insurance policy the number of stars it deserves. As a rule of thumb, a 1 Star Rated policy would most likely cost less than a 5 Star Rated policy, due to the amount of features and benefits on offer.  It’s important to remember that the ratings are based solely on the quality of the policy.

What does each Defaqto Star Rating mean?

Each Defaqto Star represents a level of features–the more stars awarded the more features a policy has. A brief description of the Defaqto Star Rating is listed below: 

1 Star

A very basic policy with minimal features benefits.

 

2 Star

Still a basic policy, but has a slightly more features and benefits than a 1 Star rated policy. It's still regarded as below average in terms of what it can offer customers.

3 Star

This policy as you'd expect is middle range, and has an average amount of features and benefits.

4 Stars

A policy awarded this level of stars is indicative of a good quality policy, and contains a wide-range of features and benefits.

5 Stars

This is the maximum amount of stars awarded, and is indicative of an excellent quality policy with a comprehensive amount of features and benefits.

How are the Defaqto Star Ratings calculated?

Regulatory changes, consumer research, plus trends are all included, when any policy is awarded a Defaqto Star Rating. When a policy is awarded a 4 or 5 Star Rating it has to meet ‘core criteria’, this criteria includes compulsory features and benefits that the policy has to offer. If these aren’t there then the policy can’t be rated any more than 3 Stars.
