Overview of insurance cover provided by Gadget Cover Insurance

Gadget Cover provides insurance against the following:

  • Accidental damage, including minor screen cracks
  • Liquid damage
  • Theft
  • Breakdown (except laptops)
  • Unauthorised usage (the cost of calls and data use up to £2,500)
  • Loss (as an optional extra)
  • Accessories (up to £150 if they’re lost, stolen or damaged at the same time as the gadget)

Cover is extended to immediate family, and includes use of your gadget anywhere in the world for up to 90 days in any one year, and customers are able to make unlimited claims, unlike many other gadget insurers.

Policies also include an account where you can store digital material such as photos or music.

Gadget Cover also offers an innovative ‘no claims’ bonus scheme, which gives 25% off the excess fee after one claim-free year, 50% off the excess fee after two claim-free years, 75% off after three claim-free years and no excess fees at all after four claim-free years.

If your claim is for a gadget up to the value of under £500 (when new) the excess fee will be £50. For any other gadget, the excess fee is £50 for a theft or damage claim and £75 for an accidental loss claim. If you make a claim within the first 3 months of your policy there will be an additional excess fee to pay of £25.
