Who is Endsleigh?

Endsleigh describes itself as the #1 student insurance company. It’s won a student insurance award and is the only provider recommended by the National Union Of Students. Non-students can apply for its gadget insurance, too.

In this guide, we’ll review Endsleigh’s gadget insurance, so you can see what level of cover it offers.

What cover options are available?

Endsleigh’s gadget insurance has a mix-and-match feel – you can insure gadgets, contents, bicycles and musical instruments all in one policy.

You can choose to buy:

  • £1,000 worth of cover (covering individual items up to £500)
  • £1,500 worth of cover (covering individual items up to £750)
  • £2,500 worth of cover (covering individual items up to £1,250)

This policy covers you for accidental damage, malicious damage, mechanical breakdown, theft and damage from fires or flood. Cover against accidental loss is an optional extra.

Your items will be covered all over the UK and for up to 90 days overseas.

You’ll pay no excess on claims for theft, malicious damage or arson. What’s more, the insurer says your items will be replaced within 24 hours (if stolen, lost or irreparable).

However, items are eligible for cover only if they’re less than three years old.

What is the claims process?

You can make a claim on your policy by calling Endsleigh or by filling out an online claim form. The contact details and the online form are both available on the Endsleigh website.

Even when filling out the form, you may need to speak to a member of the sales team over the phone.

You’ll need to give details of the item that was lost and how it was lost or damaged.
