For something so important, insurance is very complicated. Everyone knows that they need some form of insurance. But, most people don\u2019t know the extent of insurance or understand the terms and the conditions. For obvious reasons, a lot of people make mistakes and end up not having the coverage they assume they should have. You cannot play around with insurance because it can be the difference between life and death in some circumstances. That\u2019s why we have made a beginner\u2019s guide for everyone who needs to brush up on their insurance knowledge. Hopefully, armed with this information, you will never make an insurance based mistake again.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What Type Of Policy Do I Need?<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Regardless of the type of insurance, there will be numerous policies available for you to choose. Although variety is normally a good thing, in this case it can complicate matters to the point where your head starts to spin! Take life insurance as an example. There are two main types of policy, from <\/span>term life insurance<\/span><\/a> to whole-of-life insurance. What you need depends on what the policy has to offer and what suits your individual needs best. Simply put, what can you afford for the best cover and what can\u2019t you afford?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How Much Cover Should I Get?<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In a perfect world, everyone would get comprehensive cover and cover themselves for every scenario. But, we don\u2019t live in a perfect world and not everyone can afford a comprehensive policy. You will have to keep that in mind when you decide how much cover to buy. Comprehensive cover is the best option, but only if you can afford the monthly payments. Otherwise, you won\u2019t see the benefits if you are in an accident. Also, you want to leverage the dangers against the pay-out. For example, if you have an old banger of a car that is ten years old, you will only need third party cover. What\u2019s the point in insuring a car like that when the <\/span>repayments are worth more than the vehicle<\/span><\/a> itself?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Am I Covered Or Do I Think I Am Covered?<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Even when you buy your policy, you might assume you are covered when you are not. The best example is home insurance. Most people think that home insurance covers them against a natural disaster, but it doesn\u2019t. In fact, insurance companies use this as a way to get out of paying out and it is usually called an \u2018Act of God\u2019. However, you can specifically say you want that coverage added to your policy. The best bet is to ask any questions you may have because you don\u2019t want to find out the hard way. <\/span><\/p>\n
