As a student you’re probably heading off to uni with all kinds of shiny new tech*; your laptop, phone, speakers, maybe a TV, as well as all your personal belongings. It’s a sad fact that student accommodation is often targeted at the start of term, student houses are seen as an easy win and figures show that 20% of break-ins at student accommodation happen in the first 6 weeks of term.
But moving away from home doesn’t have to be a stressful or frightening experience. Often things happen in life that we have no control over; from dropping your phone and spilling coffee on your laptop, to having your flat broken into, and part of being a proper grown-up is knowing what to do to minimise the stress. This is where student insurance comes in.

If the worst happens and you become a victim of theft, you have the peace of mind of knowing that your insurance can go some way towards replacing your lost items.
It can help in other situations too. If, for example, you miss a coursework submission or exam because you or a family member are ill, student insurance can help with the cost of resitting exams and reproducing coursework.
We can all be clumsy at times, but some mishaps can cost you more than you’d think. It’s important to maintain a good relationship with your landlord, so Accommodation Liability cover can come in handy if you accidentally damage the landlord’s household goods, or the gas, electricity or water meters.
You even get the option of covering the loss of your house keys or swipe card, because who hasn’t had that sinking feeling when they’ve locked themselves out? Insurance can pay for a new key and replacement lock, as well as giving you £50 towards the call out charge for an emergency locksmith, should you need one.
