Contents insurance

Accommodation Services partner with Howden, the student insurance specialists, to cover your belongings when you're living with us. This is included in your accommodation fee.

Confirming your cover

It is recommended all students confirm their cover to ensure you understand what is and isn't included in the free insurance package. There are additional cover packages available as add-ons to cover any essentials not included in the main policy, such as your phone or laptop when it's not in your accommodation, or bicycle cover.

Confirming your cover let's you see a lot more information about your policy.

• What is and what isn’t covered
• Key exclusions - where cover isn’t provided
• Policy excess - the amount you pay when you make a claim
• How to make claim
• Personalise cover

You can confirm your cover online, or download the Howden for Students app.
