Insurance for gadgets
Cover for your phone, laptops and tablets.
How can you insure your gadgets?
From your mobile phone to your laptop, your gadgets are a huge part of your everyday life. If your phone or laptop got stolen, they could be expensive to replace. It's important that you find the right insurance policy to protect them.
Contents insurance could help you claim for the cost of damaged tech and gadgets. Many contents policies will cover the cost to replace or repair your gadgets if they are stolen or damaged by things like fire or flood, while at home.
Make sure you check your policy first, before deciding if you need extra cover for your tablets, phones and laptops.
How our contents insurance can help
Some items are more likely to be stolen or damaged than others. Mobile phones, tablets, laptops and cameras are all examples of this.
How we protect your tech
With Home Insurance Select, any items you have that cost less than £2,000 each are covered while at home as part of your overall contents cover. If you have items worth more than £2,000, up to £40,000 each, these will be included in addition to your your contents limit, as long as you specify them on your policy.
We offer three levels of contents cover:
- Bronze cover with up to £50,000 for your contents
- Silver cover with up to £100,000 for your contents
- Gold cover with up to £250,000 for your contents
Whichever level of cover you choose, your gadgets worth less than £2,000 each are covered in the home as standard up to the contents limit. And your valuable items worth between £2,000 and £40,000 each are covered in the home as long as you specify them on your policy, up to a total of £100,000. Accidental damage to your gadgets is covered if you have our Silver or Gold cover.
