In some cases, your gadgets may already be covered by a separate insurance policy. Your home contents insurance may offer some form of protection, for example, though if you’ve got several high-value devices it may not be sufficient, and you may not be covered against accidental damage or damage that was caused outside the home. The excess can often be high, too, which may mean it isn’t worth claiming.
Alternatively, some current accounts come with a package of insurances, of which gadget or mobile phone insurance is often one. However, again you need to make sure that the level of cover is suitable and that the excess isn’t too high, and you’ll also want to check the claims rules – some will only allow you to make one claim in a single year, which if you’re accident prone, may not be sufficient.
Yet it’s still worth checking to see if you’re covered elsewhere; just take a close look at the small print to ensure the cover will be sufficient, and if not, it may be worth looking for a separate policy.
This will depend on a number of different things, including the value of the gadget you’re looking to insure, the level of cover you want, the amount of excess you’ll pay in the event of a claim and the provider you’re considering. It will also vary depending on how many gadgets you’re looking to insure – while some consumers only want to insure a single device (typically a smartphone), others insure two or more devices, and there may be discounts available for those who insure several gadgets under a single policy.
As a ballpark figure, gadget insurance can cost anywhere from £1.50 per month to £15+, though this will of course depend on the device you’re insuring. See if your provider will offer a discount for paying in a lump sum rather than monthly – some will offer an annual discount – and always shop around to make sure you’re getting the best deal.
