They're synonyms, according to both the OED and Merriam-Webster (online),
and I've seen them used interchangeably. It's probably best to be
conservative and use "insure" only in reference to insurance coverage, but I
would argue (just for the sake of arguing) with those who insist the words
have different meanings.
