Why Extend My Cover?

In order to help you decide if you need to top up your cover, we have devised a few standard questions:

1. Do you take possessions outside of your accommodation (Such as iPods, laptops, iPads etc.)?
   If yes, you need to look at either the 'Specified Items' or 'Unspecified Items' section.
   
   • For 'Specified Items' you will need to list the item (s) and value (s) up to a maximum of £3,000.
   • For 'Unspecified Items' you can cover personal possessions up to £4,000 in total with a single item limit of £500.
   Please note that musical & orchestral instruments, pedal cycles and mobile phones cannot be covered under these sections as seperate cover sections are avialable for these items.
2. Is your computer equipment worth more than £2,000?
   If yes, you can extend the cover up to £3,000 by selecting the computer equipment top up.
3. (a) Do you require cover for your pedal cycle?
   If yes, you will need to select the pedal cycle extension. This extension will cover your pedal cycle for theft or accidental damage anywhere within the UK up to £3,000.
4. (a) Do you require cover for your mobile phone outside your accommodation?
   If yes, you will need to select mobile phone extension. This extension will cover your mobile phone for theft or accidental damage anywhere within the UK up to £1,000.
5. Do you require cover for your Course Fees?
   We offer a Tuition Fees and Rental Protection cover which will cover the cost of your tuition fees or rent if you're medically unable to continue studying your course through sickness or injury up to £20,000.

It is important that you understand that when you extend your cover you are taking out an individual insurance policy in addition to being covered under your University’s/Accommodation Provider’s Block Halls insurance policy.
