Is insurance possible in Indonesia?
Insurance
In general to insure is unusual in Bali. Insurance means to have children in this society. In case of need they always will help. It is easy to see that sons are more important in this view then daughters, who will normally after marriage disappear to the family of the husband. For people from the West insurance means to be sure those sudden financial losses won’t be a problem. The costs of medical aid are in Indonesia considerably lower and also the premium you have to pay for insurance. Generally you will pay a tenth of the Western premium. Allianz has an office in Singaraja, where one speaks English well. Also a fire insurance for your property is contracted by a number of purchasers and is possible at Allianz with an in every way acceptable premium. Insuring your car and/or scooter is not obliged and unusual in Bali by the Balinese people. Western people like also this insurance and it can be done also at Allianz in Singaraja.
