Cultural Tip
In everyday Italian, the word *polizza* is more common than *politica* when talking about insurance. *Politica* is usually reserved for governmental or corporate policies. Switching to *polizza* can make you sound more natural in a business‑insurance context. Also, Italians often add a polite “Mi scusi” before the question in formal settings.
