Contents insurance for renters

What’s covered

• Unlimited contents cover
  There’s no limit to the total value we’ll insure your belongings for. If your property has five bedrooms or fewer, there’s no limit to the overall amount we’ll cover your contents for. Your contents – including valuables up to a single item limit of £2,500 – are protected from loss or damage caused by fire, theft or flooding.
• Your garden
  We cover contents usually kept in the open, such as garden furniture. Conditions and limts apply.
• Cover for contents in outbuildings and garages
  We cover contents in garages and outbuildings within property boundaries. Coverage limits and conditions apply, with reduced limits for theft-related claims.
• Matching items cover for contents
  We'll cover the cost of replacing undamaged items in a set (such as matching furniture suites) if we can't provide a matching replacement, up to the contents and personal belongings limit. Conditions apply.
• New for old replacements
  We'll replace damaged items with new ones. Or pay for them to be restored, repaired or replaced. We don't cover damage due to wear and tear or breakdowns*. Accidental damage is an optional cover ^{Footnote [3]}.
  

What’s not covered

• Wear and tear, and the cost of repairing breakdowns
• Theft of unsecured bikes from your garden. Unless your bike was securely locked to an immoveable object, it’s not covered against thieves
• Motorised vehicles, aircrafts, caravans, or watercrafts of any kind. They’ll need to be insured separately

What's optional – extra cover if you need it

Choose optional add-ons at an additional cost to create cover that suits you.

• Extra personal belongings cover
  
  We offer optional extra personal belongings cover that you can add to your policy, which gives your possessions more protection against the unexpected.
  
  This protects individual items up to £2,500. And even if you take your belongings away from home, we’ll cover you for theft, accidental loss, and damage worldwide.
  
  If you want to cover more expensive items worth over £2,500, we can also help out.
• Worldwide personal belongings cover
  
  We cover personal belongings in and away from the home, in the UK or anywhere else in the world. This is an optional cover ^{Footnote [3]}.

• Optional accidental damage
  
  This is an optional extra that you can add to your policy. While your standard cover protects you against things like fire and theft – accidental damage cover goes much further. We offer two levels of cover – 'Limited' and 'Extra':

• Limited cover insures you against accidental damage to non-portable home entertainment equipment, mirrors, and glass in furniture (such as cabinets or coffee tables)
• Extra cover insures almost all of your contents if they’re damaged accidentally – so no need to panic if you spill that glass of red on your cream sofa
