In the UK it is mostly referred to as "cover", which makes me suspect that's the case in most of Europe as well.

- bipson 8y agoHm, UK is pretty much the only dominantly English speaking country in Europe, which makes we wonder why you suspect that. Even directly translated most German speaking folks would call it "insurance" or "being insured" first and "cover" (decken/gedeckt sein) having several equally specific meanings aside from insurance, and being mostly used by insurance selling/handling people. That aside, Non-English-speaking people would typically not associate English words with something in their daily life, besides programming maybe, i.e. if we have frequently used terms in our own language. So in this field I would say it is quite irrelevant for the rest of EU what term is associated with insurance in the UK (France and their disgust for any non-French word for example?).
