Overview of Asda Home Insurance cover

Asda has two levels of cover to choose from and a range of optional features. You can choose from buildings, contents or combined cover. Asda refers to the cover levels by the star rating they have been awarded by independent financial review service Defaqto.

A Star Rating indicates where a product or proposition sits in the market based on the quality and comprehensiveness of the features it offers.

A 3 Star rated policy has “an average level of features and benefits” and a 5 Star policy is "an excellent product with a comprehensive range of features and benefits".

There are a few features that are worth highlighting. Up to £1,500 of 'tech cover' is included as standard in both policies, this covers your gadgets for use outdoors and is often an optional extra (sometimes called gadget cover) under other policies. Asda allows customers to pay for optional 'technology and entertainment cover', which bumps the standard tech cover up to £15,000.

One unusual feature Asda included as standard is increased cover for religious festivals. To protect items bought during religious festivals its contents cover automatically increases by £3,000 for 3 Star policies and £5,000 for 5 Star policies when there are celebrations.
