Shop around for the best student possessions insurance

Save money on your student insurance by comparing quotes online.


Undergraduate finances are tight at the best of times, so buying contents insurance might not be high priority for many of this year's freshers. But if you are a student living in a hall of residence, rented digs or shared accommodation, insuring your personal possessions against theft or damage is a necessity.

Research shows that the average student has £4,000 of personal belongings, and with 70% of students owning a laptop or computer and nearly nine in 10 owning a mobile phone, students are a prime target for thieves. According to recent figures, one in four students is a victim of crime. 

Many students mistakenly believe that their belongings will be covered by their parents' household insurance even whilst they are away at college or university, but this is not the case in most instances. Some conventional plans will only cover theft from student accommodation if there is evidence of forced entry and certain items such as bicycles and musical instruments may require a further premium. A specific plan for student accommodation is usually much more flexible.
