Essentials contents insurance


Specially designed for tenants and students in shared accommodation




If you're a student living in halls of residence or if you live in rented or shared accommodation then Essentials Contents Insurance is tailored specifically for you.

Essentials Contents Insurance allows you to specify the level of cover you need, so you can cover the items most valuable to you - this means you don't pay for cover you don't need. You can choose to cover items such as laptops, mp3 players, bicycles and mobile phones even when taken outside your home, shared accommodation or halls of residence.
