My advice: don't go for Endsleigh. They cost loads more than others I have looked at, extras like laptop and digital camera cover cost way over the odds. I know a couple of friends that have made claims and had problems as well.

My tip: www.sisdirect.co.uk. I made the Endsleigh mistake in first year, but been with SIS last two years, and about to get it for my 4th year. Over £60 cheaper than Endsleigh after considering laptop cover. Oh, and best of all, some of the standard letters they send are signed by a real person! They got a nice system of ensuring groups of items under a set price.

hope that helps.

One thing I've learnt with buying insurance - never assume, always double check.

Didn't ensure my stuff as most of it wasn't worth being insured. My laptop had seperate insurance as do my phone & iPod. My mum said if anything were to be taken/damaged I could claim off her home insurance.
