What’s covered within student room insurance?
Protect all the items in your room such as clothes, computers, tv’s etc
What is covered automatically?
- New for old cover (except for clothing & bed linen where a deduction for wear and tear may be made, or mobile phones & games consoles which may be replaced with a model of comparable specification or equivalent value)
