Mature student looking for insurance for gadgets

paulcornwall

I'm starting uni in september and feel a little vulnerable carrying around a laptop / iPhone etc. If I lost my bag for example there could easily be over £1000 worth of stuff in it. Can anyone recommend a insurance policy for this type of cover??

Are you staying in halls or a house ? if house is it your house ?

as above. either way you can get contents policies that cover the items within your room/home with an extention to cover personal posessions items that you carry with you.

Standalone gadget cover is expensive compared to home contents arrangements.

thanks for your replies. I'm at home with the family in rented accommadation. Never had contents insurance before so some recommendation would be good.

The only one I know of personally is iprotect (That Martin mentions on this site under income insurance) who also do a gadget policy. May be worth a look, depends on what you're looking to insure; I don't think there's any limit to how many policies you can have if your stuff goes over the limits for one policy.
