Insure and ensure are related in meaning and use. In both British and US English the main meaning of insure is the commercial sense of providing financial compensation in the event of damage to property; ensure is not used at all with this meaning. For the more general meaning of ‘to make sure’, ensure that is at least 50 times more common in the Oxford English Corpus than insure that, as in the system is run to ensure that a good quality of service is maintained. In similar examples to the last one, insure that is sometimes used but is likely to be regarded as a mistake.
