It's true that many people already know about insurance. In fact, quite a few even know the ins and outs of insurance in detail. Yet, for some reason, public interest in insurance remains quite low. This is actually quite a contradiction between reality and what people want. Just look at how people generally refuse to become insurance holders for their assets, even though they desperately want the assurance that nothing bad will happen to them. Take home insurance, for example. When asked if people would like to become members of a home insurance company, only a few say yes.
Is Home Insurance Important?
However, everyone wants their home to be safe. They realize that their home is their shelter. They also realize that their home is the best place for them to relax, gather with loved ones, and be entertained. Yet, when faced with an insurance offer, they shake their heads. Yet, quite a few of these people know how insurance can protect their homes.
Okay, let's assume most people know nothing about home insurance. How does this type of insurance work and protect our homes? What are our obligations and rights? What exactly is home insurance? Let's discuss this together. Who knows, you might learn that insurance isn't something that will harm you, but rather can have many positive effects.
Home insurance, as the name suggests, is insurance provided by an insurance company to protect your asset, in this case, your home. We can't know for sure what will happen to your home in the future. Without trying to scare you, there are actually many bad things that can happen to your home. Take fire and natural disasters, for example. Both of these events can easily cause you to lose your home. A home destroyed by these events is certainly a loss for you.
However, if you have purchased home insurance, you don't need to worry anymore. Essentially, the insurance company will help you ease your financial burden or even take over the financial burden entirely. In this case, if your home experiences a problem, such as damage from a fire, the insurance company will provide compensation in the amount agreed upon when you registered for insurance. For example, suppose you have purchased a house for Rp 100 million. You then purchase insurance and are required to pay a premium of Rp 1 million annually for a period of several years determined by the insurance company. If your home suddenly experiences a problem as mentioned above, you can receive compensation, which can vary from the full value of your house to 80% of its value, or another amount agreed upon beforehand.
Wouldn't this be a huge relief for you as a homeowner if something bad were to happen to your home? What if something bad doesn't happen to your home? Generally, the premium you paid will be returned to you. However, some insurance companies won't refund the full amount or even the entire amount. Of course, you must be careful when choosing home insurance. Make sure you get insurance from a reputable company so your regular premium payments won't be wasted.
