Private Renting Tenant: Best Contents Insurance Co?

Hi All,

Got started on this due to the DL 50% Contents Ins. Sale - However they say they cannot insure me due to the flat being fully furnished.

Does anyone have any tips for good insurers for young professionals who are renting privately?

Thanks

  • You could try Co-Op (via Quidco for cashback) I live in rented accom and they insured me.

    I hope you manage to get sorted.
    I won't buy it if I can make or borrow it instead

    Did you take out only the contents insurance considering that you are a tenant and do not need home insurance?

    This is what is confusing me. It would seem fully furnished means they won't insure you..
  • hey,

    was in the same situation last year.
    only certain companies insure for this

    I used a search engine at money supermarket.

    there was a option for people who privately rent (tenant).
    it will be a bit dearer, but will cover your contents only up to a said value
    mine was 8k

    cost me 14 per month and does give you a no claim bouns that can be transferred to a normal house/contents insurance at a later date when/if you decide to buy
