Navigating Insurance: A Comprehen...

Understanding the Basics:

Insurance, at its core, is a financial arrangement that provides protection against potential risks or losses. It operates on the principle of shared risk, where a group of individuals pays premiums to an insurance company in exchange for cover. You have to be 18 years and older to qualify for insurance.

How Insurance Works:

Insurance functions on the concept of risk pooling. When individuals pay premiums, they contribute to a collective fund. In the event of a covered incident, these providers use the fund to compensate the affected policyholders. We recommend you start of by having these insurance covers:

1. Health Insurance:
   Health Insurance is a must have in our country. For those who have medical aid, it is important to also get Gap Cover, for the instances where the medical provider charges more than the medical aid.

2. Car Insurance:
   Car insurance is a contractual agreement between an individual (the policyholder) and an insurer. In exchange for regular payments known as premiums, the insurer agrees to provide financial protection and cover for specified risks related to the insured vehicle. Car insurance is designed to mitigate the financial impact of various events that can lead to damage, loss, or liability associated with a vehicle.
