Additionally, if you’ve a special birthday or family wedding coming up, it could mean more presents! For peace of mind, you might want to call your insurance provider to increase your level of cover – either temporarily or permanently, as needed. For any valuable items like jewellery, laptops and general electronics, it’s worth checking to see if you need to add them individually to the policy.  

We ask you to add any valuable items worth more than £1,500 to your quote individually if you want to make sure they’re covered. Take into account things like an engagement ring, which could easily exceed this limit.
