Possession insurance: Your frequently asked questions

What items are covered with possessions insurance?

Protect Your Bubble’s possessions cover protects your gadgets anywhere in the world against accidental damage, theft and mechanical breakdown. 

Howden used to provide possessions cover for items such as clothes, books, jewellery and so on, but this cover is not available for new customers at the moment (it’s still available for renewals and via accommodation providers). However, we encourage you to check back soon as we’re doing our best to develop a new product. 

Do I need cycle insurance at university?

If you’re heading to university, your personal belongings will not necessarily be covered by your parents’ home insurance policy while you’re living away from home. Even if they are, you may not be covered to take your belongings and gadgets out and about at university. 

Some accommodation providers do arrange a level of contents insurance for students while they’re living at university, so check your welcome documents to find out if you have any cover in place. 

Even if your accommodation has provided insurance for you, it’s important to make sure that you have the right level of cover in place to ensure your things are protected against risks such as accidental and liquid damage.
