Looking for Contents insurance?

Your favourite possessions mean a lot to you, which means you should get to choose how you want to protect them. With our contents insurance you can pick the level of cover that's just right for you.

 

Get a range of Contents Insurance benefits

Our contents insurance protects items you keep in your private residence and in any structures attached to it, such as furniture, clothing, curtains and electronic goods.

As well as protecting against risks such as theft, or damage caused by fire, smoke, storm or flood, you get all of the following as standard:

  • High Risk Items - You will be covered for £10,000 worth of high risk items as standard. This covers belongings individually worth up to £3,000 such as your jewellery, mobile phone, and computers within your home. You can select a higher amount if needed.
  • Money & Credit Cards Cover - cover for your cards and cash when in the home.
  • Freezer Contents Cover - with a low £25 excess.
  • Visitor belongings - protection for items your visitors bring with them when they visit your home.
  • Alternative accommodation - for you, your family and pets if your home is unfit to live in due to a claim.

Limits, terms and exclusions apply. See our policy booklet (PDF, 3.5MB) for more details.
