Why bother? Given that there is no hassle in buying Transurance or adjusting claims, there is no bother. By setting its property insurance deductible, a company has determined that any amount of costs associated with a property loss above that amount is significant and should be covered. Transurance is just more of something that the insured has already determined has value, without any additional hassle. While the probability of having a large loss is relatively small, the consequences of that loss may be devastating. Just as insurance helps mitigate the financial impact of the direct costs associated with such a loss, Transurance helps mitigate the collateral damage.
Should I take a "wait and see" approach? Since there is no hassle in securing Transurance coverage, no policy wording to negotiate, and no claim adjustment process, there is nothing to be proved with Transurance. Delaying a Transurance purchase to gain experience with this product only makes sense if one must personally experience collateral damages before doing something about them. Good risk managers learn from other people’s experiences and take actions that make economic sense.
