Options for TV Insurance if you have no contents insurance

rainiorainio

Hello,

 Accidentally damaged my TV yesterday so bought a new one for £1500 and am looking for a decent company that do TV insurance as we don't have contents insurance.

Seems "Gadget insurance" companies don't give quotes for TVs.

Amazon sells one through "Protect your bubble" though I don't quite trust that, and I can't find a "TV policy" when checking Protect your bubble's site.

Thanks for any recommendations.

The quotes I've found are £250 per year. Who are you with?

Amazon will allow you to buy 3 years accidental damage cover for TVs bought from them

I wonder if they will allow this insurance for TVs bought elsewhere? Not clear on teh page. I need to call them.

I guess you realise that contents insurance would cover things like theft; damage caused by fire, flood, escape of water etc with accidental damage usually as an option.

Whereas accidental damage insurance will only cover accidental damage.

i checked online and typical insurance seems to be £13 to £15 per month for a single gadget worth £1k+

for that price, it would be madness not to go for contents insurance with accidental cover + personal possession away from home.

Add your partner/kids/family member that live with you etc. to get best bang for buck
