Student Insurance

Students living in university accommodation, whether on or off campus should understand the importance of having their possessions insured.

Some students merely overlook contents insurance whilst others believe that they will not need it. Unfortunately the reality is that students are amongst the most vulnerable to theft and burglaries, so it is important to understand the importance of having some form of contents insurance.

Student insurance policies are often tailored towards their needs and lifestyles, such as being away over holidays and the option to insure just the more expensive items such as laptops, stereos and text books. In addition, most student insurance policies will cover possessions that are accidentally damaged and have a new for old policy.

If you are living in halls of residence or any form student accommodation, most insurers will allow students to add their possessions as an addition to their parents home insurance policy for little extra cost. For this, your parents should contact their insurance provider.

There are many companies offering students insurance at very competitive rates from as little as £18 per month and are easy to setup, including the following:

• Endsleigh


• Natwest


• HSBC


• Barclays
