Overview of insurance cover provided by Hastings Direct Home Insurance

Founded in 1997, Hastings Direct is an online and phone only company.

Hastings offer 3 types of home insurance – buildings only insurance, contents only insurance and combined buildings and content cover. A more comprehensive level of cover called Hasting Premier is also available.

Buildings only cover includes the roof, walls and windows of the property, as well as internal permanent structures such as baths and fitted kitchens. Outbuildings are also covered.

Contents insurance covers your possessions for damage caused by theft and vandalism; fire, smoke or explosion; weather perils and natural disasters; falling trees and moving objects; and oil or water leaks within the home. Accidental damage to TV and computers and cover for glass is included as standard, as are replacement locks if your keys are stolen, and new-for-old cover (except for clothing and household linen).

Items worth over £1,500 must be declared separately, but can be insured. Optional extra cover, such as insuring items away from the home, home emergency cover and family legal protection can be added for an additional cost.

Taking out a combined buildings and contents cover can save you up to 20% on your premiums.

Hasting’s call centre is open 7 days a week and they also operate a 24-hour claims helpline.
