Why choose Cover4students for your Tuition Fees Insurance:

  • 🎓 Specialist Student Insurance
  • 🎓 Cover up to £20,000 in total
  • 🎓 Low £50 claim excess

Now that you have booked your course and or accommodation, it’s time to think about making sure that your investment in learning is protected.

Why do I need to protect my tuition fees and rent?

Cancelling a booking, especially at the last minute or part way through, can be costly. You can usually expect to lose your deposit, but it is also becoming more common that that you would be expected to pay the whole cost of your course or tenancy agreement. After all, your booking with the University or your landlord is a legally binding contract.

So what would happen if you were unable to attend your University course, live in your accommodation if you suffered a sickness, bodily injury which resulted in your disablement?

That is where our tuition fees and rental protection cover would come in – well meet the costs of the pre-booked course fees and/or the cost of your rental agreement for your accommodation that you are contracted to pay up to the sum insured that you select.

Policy Features

At Cover4students we understand that you may already be covered for your personal possessions within your accommodation via a University Block Insurance scheme (i.e. If you are in halls of residence) or by your parents’ home insurance policy – so why should you have to take out a full contents insurance policy to get tuition/course fees covered.

Well now you don’t, Cover4students has developed a product insurance cover that allows you to just cover the items you require such as your tuition fees or rental protection.

  • Covers your tuition fees & rental protection up to £20,000 in total.
  • We basically pay the pro-rata cost of any unused tuition fees and/or rental costs that you have already paid or are legally liable to pay to your education establishment (university/college) and/or your landlord (student accommodation provider) during the period of insurance, as a result of:
    • Sickness or accidental bodily injury
    • Your death
  • your college/university is unable to honour their obligations in respect of the course fees you have paid in advance.
  • Low £50 claim excess – you only pay the first £50 of any claim.

We make it easy

You can get a quote in seconds; all we need to know is the total value that you wish to insure your tuition/course fees and rental protection up to. NB: If you are wishing to cover the tuition/course fees and rent then this should be the combined total – i.e. £9,000 course fees and £4,000 rent, means you should select a sum insured of £13,000.

Cover can be taken out instantly and policy documents will be emailed to you. Please note that there is a 14 day deferred period on the tuition fee and rental protection cover. We also offer a 14 day cooling off period meaning if you decide for any reason that the policy does not meet your requirements within 14 days. We offer a full refund of your premium guarantee if you decide to cancel provided no claim has been made or pending.
