What Is Insurance, and Why Does It Matter?
Insurance is a contract that transfers a specific financial risk — a car accident, a house fire, a medical emergency — from an individual to an insurer, in exchange for a regular payment. In return, the insurer agrees to cover certain losses up to the terms set out in the policy.
The right cover depends on what's actually at risk: a mortgage lender will usually require buildings insurance, a car on the road legally requires at least third-party cover, and anyone with financial dependants may want to consider life insurance. There's no single "right" policy — only the one that matches your circumstances, which is why comparing terms, exclusions and excess levels matters as much as comparing price.
