Key takeaways

  • You can get laptop insurance as part of contents insurance which covers all belongings kept at your home – this is often a better value-for-money option.
  • You can insure your laptop with single item insurance – this is usually a cheaper option.
  • If you want protection outside the home, you can add on portable cover to contents or single item insurance policies.

What is laptop insurance?

Laptop insurance can protect your laptop from theft or accidental damage. Depending on your policy chosen, you can be covered for inside the home and while you're out and about (if you add portable contents cover).

What are my laptop insurance options?

Contents insurance

Contents insurance is designed to cover all the belongings inside your home, including your laptop. If you want to protect specific items you frequently take outside, like your laptop, you can add on portable contents insurance to your policy.

Single item insurance

This is a cost-effective way to insure the items you value most, like your phone or laptop. It's a good option if you only want cover for specific items and you can pay extra to protect your laptop outside your home.
