What is contents insurance?
Contents insurance protects your belongings against the cost of unexpected things happening, such as:
- theft
- vandalism
- fire
- or flooding.
Many people combine contents cover with their buildings insurance. This is so they can protect their personal items as well as their home.
If you rent your home, you may not need buildings insurance as it's usually your landlord's job to take care of that. But most landlords won't cover your own belongings. Because of this, you may want to take out contents insurance for extra cover.
