It has now become a very important thing to provide insurance cover to every asset, irrespective of its monetary value. Although automobiles, homes and other tangible assets still constitute the major number of insured items, other things are also getting their fair share in the insurance game. We all buy consumer durables on credit these days. Whether it is a television, a refrigerator or an automobile, everything comes through financing.
This credit financing also comes with guarantees from the manufacture or the credit lender. If we buy a new home theatre system, we would get a guarantee of three to five years along with the breakdown warranty.
However, this warranty is not the only protection. There is also an insurance cover in case we are unable to pay the dues. The insurance policy will come in handy to avoid us from defaulting on any loans or credits.

The experts say that they are two main reasons for that: the growing competition (there is a record for new registered insurance companies in 2007) and the other reason is that fewer and fewer people make the decision to squirrel some money away in order to have their vehicle, house or flat insured.
