Single Item Insurance

Insure one valuable item on its own

Single item insurance lets you cover just one valuable - a phone, laptop, camera, engagement ring, watch or bicycle - against theft, loss and accidental damage, without insuring your whole household. It's a simple, focused alternative to a full contents or all-risk policy.

FAQ

Single item insurance questions

What's the difference between single item and portable possessions cover?
Single item cover insures just one specified valuable, while portable possessions (all-risk) cover can include many items, specified and unspecified. Single item is simpler if you only need to cover one thing.
Can I insure just my engagement ring?
Yes. A single item policy is well suited to one high-value item like a ring, watch or camera, covering it for its full value against theft, loss and accidental damage.
