Loan insurance is a form of payment protection insurance (PPI).

Loan insurance is designed to protect your regular loan or credit payments in the event of accident, sickness or unemployment. If you have credit commitments it makes sense to protect these outgoings should something go wrong.

Should the worst happen, at least you have the loan insurance policy in place to make the regular monthly payments. Loan insurance is expensive if you buy it from your loan company or lender. They make large amounts of commission when they sell these loan policies and they know borrowers are unlikely to look elsewhere.

Take the time to search for an independent loan insurance policy, you will find vast differences in the cost. Loan payment insurance providers have to compete for your business so their policies have to provide value for money.
