About Contents Insurance
Contents insurance, the partner to home insurance, is designed to cover your possessions inside your home. Although often seen as a combined policy with home insurance, you can take out contents-only insurance if you need. For example, renters may want to take out renters insurance, which is a type of contents-only insurance. Another example of contents insurance you may consider, would be to insure a single high-value item to specify in your policy.
There are two types of contents insurance you can choose from:
- policies that cover the value of your belongings
- policies that replace your possessions with new items
The type of insurance you choose will affect the premium you pay, with the ‘new-for-old’ type of contents policy generally being more expensive than the ‘value-only’ option.
