Student Insurance

Insurance is often forgotten about when you move to university. Most Student Accommodation comes with basic insurance, usually provided by Endsleigh who also have quite a few branches, either in unions or near your university.

Many of the Endsleigh packages come with the option to expand your cover. This can include named items and also more protection for objects such as Laptops, say outside of your bedroom.

If you have any extremely valuable objects, get them insured with either a specialist or placed as a named item on your insurance.

There are other things that you cannot insure against but simple matters can save you a lot of time, money and distress. Write down all the telephone numbers in your mobile and leave a copy at home. Back up your laptop as regularly as possible. External hard drives are now as low as £60.
