As with all insurance, there are exclusions. For Simplesurance gadget cover, these include:
An excess is the amount of money you have to contribute when you make a claim. The amount of your excess will vary depending on the original price of the gadget that’s covered.
If more than one excess applies, they will be added together.
There is no excess for Simplesurance stationary electronic devices such as computers, game consoles and hi-fi systems. However an excess will be applied to mobile electronics depending on the original price of a device, as shown in the table.
Purchase price of device | Excess |
---|---|
£0-£500 | £30 |
£501-£1,000 | £60 |
£1,001-£3,000 | £90 |

If you need to make a claim, you can do so online via the Simplesurance website by selecting “Make a claim”.
As Simplesurance is web-based, there is currently no way to make a claim via telephone.
It’s vital that you let your insurer know about an incident within seven days of becoming aware of any issue or damage. Failure to do this could result in a rejected claim later on.
