That is, you transfer the risk of financial loss, which you may be exposed to, to the insurance company, in return for the financial premiums that you will pay. Whoever is exposed to a car accident, the insurance policy covers the damage caused to the vehicle. And whoever suffers from a disease or disease, the health insurance policy covers the costs of treatment. Whoever loses his life, the coverage shall be paid to the beneficiaries in the policy. With regard to home insurance, if a fire or flood occurs, for example, the insurance policy covers the damages.

Finally, insurance is a means of protection against financial loss. It is a form of risk management, primarily used to hedge the risk of contingent or uncertain loss.

Insurance Components

There are three basic components for any type of insurance, which are (premiums, limits of insurance coverage, deductible). By understanding these three components, you can take the most important step in choosing the most appropriate insurance for you. For example, third party car insurance may be the right one for you, or otherwise comprehensive insurance may be what suits you best.

installments

The premium of the insurance policy is the amount that the insured undertakes to pay for the insurance coverage to the insurance company, in the form of monthly or annual premiums. Insurance companies set premiums according to several factors, based on your risk profile, and whether or not you can claim compensation.

To put it further, if you own a number of luxury cars and have a track record of reckless driving, you will likely pay higher premiums in terms of cost. Whereas someone who owns an average saloon car and has a perfect driving record will certainly pay lower premiums.

The prices of the documents vary from one company to another, and the features and exclusions differ from one document to another. So finding the right document will take some effort. Or you can contact insurance comparison companies to help you choose the best policy for you.

Limits of insurance coverage

Limits of insurance coverage means the maximum liability of the insurance company to compensate the insured or insured’s damages, as specified in the insurance policy schedule. This is before applying the deduction or deduction rate or the depreciation rate.

The insurance coverage depends on the period of time, ie the duration of the policy, injury or damage, and other factors. The higher the limits of insurance coverage, the more coverage or compensation you will receive.

endurance ratio

The  deductible  is the amount or percentage that the policyholder agrees to pay out of his or her own wallet, before the insurance company begins settling the claim.

The higher the deductible, the lower the premiums value, and the lower the deductible, the higher the premiums value.

To illustrate the idea more, here is the following example: Suppose that your car was involved in an accident that you caused, and you have insurance coverage of up to 10,000 dirhams, and the deductible is 2,000 dirhams. If the cost of repairing your car damage is 1,500 dirhams, you will pay 1,500 dirhams in full, because it is less than the deductible. If the cost of repairing the damages reaches 8000 dirhams, you will pay 2,000 dirhams as the deductible, and the insurance company will pay the rest of the amount, which is 6000 dirhams.
