Money Box Live: Cost of Insurance

Insurance is a product where we pay for it in the hopes we never actually use it, but what do you need to know to get the right cover?

Car, home, travel and life insurance are just some of the policies we might take out to protect ourselves if the worst happens.

This year we've already seen floods followed by freezing temperatures and property claim pay outs hit 拢4.1 billion last year according to industry figures.

So this week we look at whether insurance companies step up when we need them, and more widely at the rising costs of insurance, particularly for motorists.

Felicity Hannah is joined by experts Mark Shepherd from the Association of British Insurers, and Sam Richardson, Deputy Editor of Which? Money.
