Before you buy insurance-remember its to protect you

Finance RSS Feed





Having insurance is a must in today's world. To be blunt, if you don't have insurance you could lose everything. Perhaps you already have some insurance and are shopping around for a better policy, or maybe this is your first time; either way there are a few things you should know before you buy insurance.

Most people tend to consider the cost of the premium as the most important aspect of a policy, but that's not always the case. Of course you have to be sure you can afford whatever insurance you're getting, but cost alone shouldn't be the only thing you think about. The reason is that a lot of companies will offer reduced rate policies, but they also slash the coverage on those policies to keep their costs low.

The whole purpose of insurance is to protect you financially if anything bad should happen. And while you may be able to save some money on your premium, that savings won't matter if you don't have enough coverage.

There's nothing wrong with shopping around to find the best policy, in fact you should. However, before you buy insurance, you need to go over each policy to see exactly what it includes or doesn't include. That will give you a much better comparison than just going by price alone. If you have any question, be sure to contact the insurance agency for clarification. The other benefit of dong this is that it will also give you some idea of how they treat their customers.

Before you buy insurance, you need to have a good idea of just how much you are likely to need. You can't predict with any accuracy what will or won't happen to you, but you can play the odds and have a good idea of what the biggest risks are. For example, if you are looking for health insurance and you are a male, then there would be no need to get maternity coverage for yourself, but you would want to consider being able to cover prostate cancer. Home owner's insurance should protect against liability and loss of property. You should have enough car insurance to at least cover your vehicle, another person's vehicle (which may be more expensive than your own) and medical coverage in case anybody gets hurt. Everybody is different, so you will need to determine how much insurance is best for you.

The other main thing you need to look at before you buy insurance is how much of a deductible you can afford. Generally speaking, the higher your deductible the lower your premium will be. However, you have to make sure you will be able to afford the deductible should something come up.

Before you buy insurance, always take the time to understand what you're paying for and how various aspects of the policy can affect your premiums and coverage levels. There's no point paying for more insurance cover than you really need, but likewise, you need to be sure you have enough cover to protect you in the event of something happening.
