When you book your student accommodation with us, you’re automatically covered by our free contents insurance in association with Gallagher. This insurance policy will cover you inside of your room for fire, flood and theft of your possessions, including your gadgets.
It is important to note that this cover will not provide protection if you were to accidentally damage any of your items, and it will not cover items such as your laptop and phone when used outside of your room.
Ahead of arriving, it is really important you spend a couple of minutes to review your cover by checking online. You will find all the important information you need to know, including what’s covered and what’s not covered on the policy and we recommend purchasing additional cover should you need it.
Their additional cover can protect gadgets, watches, bikes and musical instruments under one policy—giving you the flexibility to build your cover to protect the things that matter to you most.
You don’t need to do anything to activate this cover, but we recommend:
- Downloading your documents.
- Adding your policy to your digital wallet.
- Extending and personalising your cover as required.
Your policy number for this insurance cover is SOU1026.
