hmmm I'm not too bothered about that,just other things like PC etc


Heyhey everyone,I rang up Saxon quite a few times and this young woman was telling me that I had to pay the extra 20quid for the laptop and the 3quid for the policy fee because the basic cover includes computers...but it's only PCs apparently..not laptops...I called up this morning and it was some bloke this time..he said the laptops are in fact included in the basic cover within our rooms? So what's going on?? Im thinking of getting the additional cover..just incase...what's everyone else thinking of doing??

gettin xtra cover 2mra. better to be safe than sorry.

TBH i don't trust these call centre people.
It could just be covered when in your room and not throughout the whole of the UK.

Make sure this is so or it you lose/gets stolen outside your room you'll have to pay for a new one.

Another tip don't over cover your item. Insurance companies are only willing to pay out the market value of the laptop.

My family are coming to help too lol !!

Did you have to pay the £3 policy fee or has the insurance automatically started?

I might sign up with endsleigh for the first 2 weeks and if saxon can offer me anything better i'll switch over.
Endsleigh seem to be more professional as i cannot get hold of saxon because they are closed on the weekends whilst endsleigh aren't.
