magánbiztosítások

Magánbiztosítások refer to private insurance policies purchased by individuals or families to protect themselves against financial losses from specific risks. Unlike social insurance, which is often mandatory and provided by the state, private insurance is voluntary. These policies are offered by private insurance companies and are designed to supplement or replace benefits that might not be fully covered by public systems, or to cover risks not addressed by social insurance at all.

Common types of magánbiztosítások include health insurance (egészségbiztosítás), which covers medical expenses; life insurance (életbiztosítás), providing a payout upon the insured's death; property insurance (vagyonbiztosítás), protecting against damage or loss of assets like homes and vehicles; and liability insurance (felelősségbiztosítás), covering damages caused to others. Other forms might include travel insurance, disability insurance, and various specialized coverage options.

The purpose of private insurance is to provide financial security and peace of mind. By paying regular premiums, individuals transfer the risk of a potentially large financial burden to the insurance company. This allows them to manage their finances more predictably and avoid significant debt in case of unexpected events. The terms and conditions, coverage limits, and premium costs vary widely depending on the policy, the insurer, and the individual's risk profile. Individuals typically choose magánbiztosítások based on their specific needs, financial situation, and the perceived likelihood of certain risks occurring.
