The ‘… For Dummies’ range always provides good, solid information in a fun way, so covering a famously dull topic such as insurance is a welcome addition to existing books on this subject.
 
The book aims to put readers who are bamboozled by the range of policies at ease, and gives detailed information on house insurance, car insurance, pet insurance, health insurance and life insurance.  It looks at contents insurance in the home and clearly outlines what is worth insuring and what is not.

The book helps readers to select the right plans and coverage at the best price, and even explains how to fill out forms should you have to make a claim.  Ideas to manage risk factors and reduce liability are included, allowing readers to make changes to their home, lifestyle and possessions to reduce their risks and premiums. 

It provides information specific to people in different stages of life such as new graduates, families and the elderly, as well as looking at the sometimes complex topic of insurance for people who work from home, whether that be in a self-employed capacity, or as a remote employee.

The sections are laid out into easily digestible chapters and describe how to handle claims and make sure you are adequately compensated in the event of a claim; common traps and loopholes in policies; and advice on navigating your way through the plethora of policy types.

The friendly language and illustrations make this book a fun read, whilst clearly explaining how to make sure that your insurance policies provide you and your family with the cover you need.
