The world of insurance – and choosing the best insurance – can be a confusing process. So much so that most of us try to stay as far away from it as possible, only dipping our toes in when we need to. But have you ever stopped to think about just how many different types of insurance there are out there?

While most of us know the main types – car insurance, home insurance and travel insurance – few of us have ever stopped to consider just how many different types of insurance exist.

Pet insurance is an area that contains a number of unusual insurance opportunities. While dog and even cat insurance are quite popular, the number of different types of insurance gets quite possible when you start considering insurance for exotic pets.

For example it is possible to insurance almost every animal, from rabbits to goats and everything in between. Just what that in between involves depends on the insurer but can include ferrets, geckos, gerbils, lizards, snakes, hedgehogs and potpellied pigs. While you may not even consider getting a hedgehog as a pet – let alone insuring one – there clearly is a market for pet insurance out there for just about every kind of pet.

Car insurance is another area in which the number of types of insurance can vary, although many people are more aware of the options here. For example, many car insurance companies choose to focus just on women – offering only women’s car insurance rather than a car insurance policy for both men and women. Car insurance can also be focused on other groups such as young drivers or even convicted drivers, with insurance companies focusing their efforts on just a tiny niche of the market.

Of course cars aren’t the only type of motor covered. Everything from buses to jet skis, trikes to forklifts can be covered, with numerous large and independent insurance companies providing just the right insurance package for every need.
